Responsiveness
p50 and p95 responsiveness, stable update cadence, backpressure handling, and recovery after pauses, bursts, or reconnects.

Build challenge
Real-time knowledge should survive interaction.
Build an end-to-end prototype for a real-time knowledge interface that stays stable while information and user actions keep changing.
The challenge explores real-time knowledge interfaces that reduce cognitive load in dense learning environments.
Build the hard part, not a polished mockup.
Contest format.
- Seven-day online build window, designed to launch efficiently once dates are locked.
- Entrants register through the Classiqo contest page and receive the private technical spec and evaluation packet.
- Teams build a working prototype using any suitable real-time, storage, or model stack.
- Final submissions include a demo URL, repository or reviewable code path, architecture notes, p50/p95 measurement method, and known failure modes.
- Submissions are judged against the public 100-point rubric.
- A short online or offline presentation night will be scheduled with a public URL. Teams may optionally showcase their work.
- Judges and facilitators present the awards; winners are contacted after eligibility and ownership checks.
- Hiring consideration and public finalist featuring are both opt-in only.
What matters
The evaluation is technical and transparent.
Strong submissions should be honest about responsiveness, update policy, traceability, uncertainty, and failure modes. The target is reliable real-time AI infrastructure, not a staged interface demo.
- Show p50 and p95 responsiveness under realistic update load, not only best-case response time.
- Explain how the system handles corrections, uncertainty, and user interaction without confusing the reviewer.
- Make important state changes inspectable rather than silently rewriting history.
- Use durable references for user-created interactions when underlying content changes.
- Registered entrants receive the private technical spec and evaluation packet; the public rubric is the scoring contract.
100 points.
Output quality
Accuracy and usefulness under ambiguous inputs, numbers, notation-like language, corrections, and mixed terminology. Outputs must be reliable enough for rigorous review.
Attribution and traceability
Connect system outputs to supporting evidence with confidence, traceability, and clear failure states. Discontinuous support should still be reviewable.
Interaction correctness
User actions must remain attached to the intended material as content updates, revisions, reconnects, and multi-user synchronization occur.
Reliability
Explain observability, retry policy, timeouts, data handling, deployment assumptions, and where deterministic checks beat model judgment.
Demo clarity
The evaluator can run or inspect the system, understand the architecture, and see the tradeoffs without a sales demo.

Prize duration will be confirmed before judging begins. Winners will be contacted at the submitted email address. Prize delivery begins after eligibility and ownership checks. Finalists may be publicly featured only if they opt in.
Submission
Submit a working demo or reviewable code path. Registered entrants receive the private technical spec and evaluation packet. The demo may use any real-time, storage, or model stack. The judging focuses on responsiveness, stability, traceability, and engineering judgment.
Rules and trust
- No entry fee or purchase is required.
- Entrants keep ownership of their work. Classiqo may evaluate submissions and contact entrants about the contest or hiring only as described on this page.
- Do not submit confidential data, production credentials, personal data about third parties, or proprietary material you cannot share.
- Prizes are delivered as Anthropic gift subscriptions where available. If a gift subscription cannot be delivered in the winner's location, Classiqo may provide an equivalent-value substitute.
- Finalists may be publicly featured only if they opt in. The default is opt out.
