- The hackathon spans 3 days: Friday features an Anthropic-run workshop on AI agents for mathematicians, Saturday-Sunday is the competition itself, and Sunday evening brings oral presentations to an expert judging panel.
- Preliminary prizes go to judges who flag the most promising teams; a second wave of prizes lands in early 2027, once mathematicians have formally verified the results.
- From the parent tweet: co-hosted with Anthropic and OpenAI, recruiting 100 top teams worldwide — a pool with 10 IMO/IOI medals, 15+ Annals papers, 5 textbook authors and solvers of famous open problems — backed by $2M in API credits ($1M each for Fable and Astra).
