TryCrucible — Prove your AI engineering skills

Scenario

You are given 50 research questions, each with 5 source documents. Build a pipeline: a planner breaks the question into sub-queries, specialist agents process each sub-query, a synthesiser produces the final answer containing all required key facts.

Expected output

Final synthesis contains all required key facts for 8 of 10 test questions

Dataset

📦

Dataset files

Scoring rubric

Clarity5%

Full agent trace is logged and interpretable

LLM usage20%

Each agent has a tight focused prompt, no agent is doing multiple unrelated jobs

Robustness10%

Handles sub-agent failures, contradictory source documents, and incomplete retrieval

Correctness25%

Key facts from ground truth appear in final synthesis for >= 8/10 questions

Architecture20%

Agent roles are distinct, state handoff between agents is explicit and inspectable

Language-free evaluation

Build your solution in any language or framework — Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C#, or anything else. The dataset artifacts may be in one language; your implementation does not need to match. TryCrucible evaluates the behaviour of your system, the quality of your AI workflow, your verification strategy, and the reproducibility of your submission — not your language choice.

Submission requirements

A public GitHub repository link
A Dockerfile in the repo root — any language or framework; the evaluator builds and runs your container
Your solution reads test_inputs.json from the working directory and writes results.json — standard I/O contract across all challenges
A decisions.md — 3–5 sentences on the key architectural and AI-workflow choices you made
The system must be fully reproducible — we clone, build, and run it against real test inputs

Evaluation contract

When you submit, the evaluator runs these steps in order:

1Clone your public GitHub repository
2Build your container from the Dockerfile in the repo root
3Mount test_inputs.json into the working directory
4Run your solution in a network-isolated sandbox (5 min limit, 512 MB RAM)
5Read results.json from the working directory
6Score correctness against hidden ground truth, then score architecture, AI workflow, robustness, and clarity

// I/O contract — same schema for every challenge

Input (provided by evaluator)

// test_inputs.json
[
  { "id": "t1", "input": { ... } },
  { "id": "t2", "input": { ... } }
]
