| # Science Speedrun: 21 completed Astra task histories |
|
|
| Reproducible submitted solutions, native evaluation reports, and screened Codex logs from |
| GPT-6 Astra with xhigh reasoning. These are file artifacts, not a tabular training dataset. |
| The histories contain 540 inference-distinct candidates; each has a completed |
| sealed evaluation. Existing additional measurements of duplicate packages are retained. |
| `reviews/fairness-20261031/` holds the operator-side fairness review of every first-round |
| trajectory (per-task verdicts and the cross-cutting infrastructure findings); each first-round |
| index carries its verdict under `operator_fairness_review`, and a fresh trial's index names |
| the first trial it repeats under `fresh_trial_of`. |

| ## Layout |
|
|
| `tasks/<task>/<run-id>/` contains `submissions/`, `evaluations/`, `logs/`, |
| `finalization/`, and one `index.json`. The index maps every original snapshot and |
| research timestamp to its canonical package and actual evaluation, and records file |
| hashes, executable permissions, source commit, images, resources, and deviations. |
| `plots/` contains the complete-history figures and their metric/reference CSV files. |
| `reproduction/files/` preserves the frozen verifier/adapter source files referenced |
| by each evaluation. Scientific native reports are retained without rewriting scores. |
| Fruit Fly evaluations also keep the final SHAPE stage's per-node predictions |
| (`evaluations/<snapshot>/disjoint-pair-shape/node-assignments.npz`: skeleton `node_id` to |
| predicted segment `prediction_id`, with that stage's `metrics.json`), so other |
| segmentation metrics can be computed without rerunning inference. |
|
|
| Disease submissions include their required Python/CUDA runtime. Identical large |
| weights and bundled dependencies are shared under `shared/package-files/`, as plain |
| files, so repeated checkpoint contents need only be downloaded once. Small entry-point |
| files remain browsable in each submission folder. Indexes map stored files back to |
| their original paths and executable permissions. Reconstruct a package before execution. |
| From a complete downloaded repository: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| python restore_submission.py tasks/<task>/<run-id>/index.json S001 /path/to/new/submission |
| ``` |
|
|
| To fetch just one candidate, download its `index.json` and the helper first (keeping |
| the directory layout), then add `--repo s42chen/sci-run` to the command above. With |
| `huggingface_hub` installed, the helper downloads only that candidate's missing files. |
| Use `--revision <dataset-commit>` to pin the download to a specific dataset version. |
|
|
| Use `GRACE_FINAL` for the separate post-budget package. The helper copies files into |
| a new directory, restores permissions, and checks the exported names/modes/content |
| fingerprint. It never executes the submitted code. Do not execute submissions merely |
| to inspect this archive; use the benchmark's isolated evaluation environment. |
|
|
| ## Interpretation and limitations |
|
|
| All runs used one accessible H100 and 48 hours of charged research time. All tasks except |
| Tokamak, Disease, Earth, and BCI were run with reduced CPU/RAM/GPU allocations relative to their |
| pinned eight-GPU task configurations; those four match their tasks' one-GPU research |
| requests at their recorded source commits. Runs were interrupted and resumed (operator |
| pauses, Beaker preemptions, one shared-storage outage); preserving the clock does not |
| reproduce uninterrupted computation. The fairness review under `reviews/` quantifies the |
| operator-caused losses per task and names the trials judged materially unfair. Fresh |
| trials of those tasks were run from scratch (new session, same images, data, and budget) and |
| are added as separate run directories next to the retained first trials, as each fresh |
| history is fully scored: Protein Sequence (run 20261031a) is included; Weather, Genome, |
| Atomistic Materials, and Mass Spectrometry will follow. Brain-computer interface decoding |
| (BCI), the nineteenth task, ran once at its native budget; its five tracks are scored and |
| plotted separately. |
| Beaker execution uses documented isolation/resource adaptations and may grant more |
| RAM than requested. Published baseline lines are reference measurements, not equal- |
| budget human trials. Missing or incompatible baselines are explicitly omitted. |
|
|
| The first Protein Design trial (run 20261022a) ran without its pinned pretrained |
| inference assets mounted; it is retained for the record but superseded by the corrected |
| trial (run 20261027a), which is the Design result shown in the plots. `finalization/` is an additional submission-only window of at most five |
| minutes; it is not backdated into the 48-hour curves. Purple markers denote those |
| reviewed post-budget results; orange marks denote reused scores for duplicate snapshots. |
|
|
| Two results carry operator rulings (2026-11-02). Tokamak is scored under the task's metric |
| v3 that the trial was pinned to (35 sealed episodes, timed-out episodes voided, so per- |
| candidate denominators vary from 32 to 35); the task specification moved to v4 (105 episodes, |
| no voiding) after the trial, and no rescoring was performed. The PDE surrogate final package, |
| from its sixteenth candidate onward, routes most datasets by case metadata to independently |
| implemented equation operators declared in its manifest; this is permitted by the task |
| contract and the scores stand, but from that point the reward mostly measures re-derivation |
| of the governing equations rather than a learned surrogate. |
|
|
| ## Provenance and excluded material |
|
|
| Submissions were produced by the evaluated agent; reports by the native scientific |
| scorers under the recorded adapters; logs by Codex and the harness. Organization, |
| indexes, plots, and the reconstruction helper were created by the operator. |
| Logs are screened for credentials, with redaction counts and original/exported hashes |
| recorded in the indexes. Authentication stores, private test inputs/labels, raw research |
| workspaces and unsubmitted checkpoints are excluded. Dataset inputs and separately |
| distributed pretrained dependencies remain at their upstream locations. Existing source |
| and dependency licenses continue to apply; no blanket relicensing is asserted here. |

|
|
| ## Lean export |
|
|
| Mass Spectrometry packages omit unused research backups and unselected generations. |
| The selection follows the same reviewed inference footprint used to deduplicate |
| evaluations. Every retained inference file, mode, and relevant verifier metadata was |
| checked against the recorded evaluated identity; required notes and adjacent licenses |
| are also retained. No model code, weights, paths, or scores were rewritten. These |
| trimmed packages have their own export fingerprint, with the original full-package |
| fingerprint and evaluated inference identity recorded separately in each index. |
| Other tasks retain their exact submitted package contents, with identical files shared. |
| Original full run artifacts remain preserved on the operator's storage. |
