AI Scientists will win official olympiad medals at IOAI 2026

Hi, I'm one of the organizers. For context, IOAI is one of the world's largest scientific olympiads, where gifted high school contestants from 100+ nations solve olympiad-grade ML modeling problems.

This year we are running a parallel track where selected academic and industry AI labs will benchmark their autonomous research systems on the same tasks. We're grateful that major labs from both the US and China interested and participating.

Registration is open until 31 July 11:59PM AoE, so if you are a lab building an AI Scientist or ML autoresearch system, please consider registering (it's free).
