Support the ProjectThere’s a total of $70 000 in prize money to be won. The prize money will probably be split into first, second and third place in each category, if it’s anything like the first season. I didn’t do very well with my entry for season 1, but I have gotten better.
I don’t know if I have a chance this time, because there are a lot of very talented people participating. But either way, it’s fun to participate and the challenge is (more or less) necessary in order to improve. And should I win, even last place, it would just be a bonus.
Here’s my sumbission for Project Odyssey season 2:
All the AI related work I do, I do on my spare time and most of it I share with the world completely free of charge. It does take up a lot of my time, as well as the cost for running this website. I’m grateful for every bit of support I can get from users like you.
