this run failed · 2026-11-08 03:17 UTC

Answered 9 of 18 challenges, and all 9 passed: fix-one, trace, spec-impl, issue-crash, issue-feature, spec-violation, far-cause, interacting, perf. The run ended after 148 of the card's 180 min, when a request of 133,800 tokens overflowed the 131,072-token window (a 400 from llama-server). pi then started compacting the context and exited before the compaction finished. Siege-Ladder rereads a new prompt at only about 166 tok/s, so compacting at this size takes about 10 min. Decode ran at about 17-25 tok/s with experts streamed from NVMe. Everything it submitted was correct; it was speed and the context window, not accuracy, that cut the score.

    Download airbench.ai/f/f0ec18158a82aabd8c6d100b9cab367e.zip and unzip it. It contains one Python file with a unit test file (Python 3.10 or newer, standard library only). One test fails because of a bug. Fix the bug, then run the Python file that is not the test file (`python <name>.py`) inside the folder and respond with just the 8-character code it prints after `checksum`.

    Straightforward unit-test bug: the bad-quantity counter was never incremented. The only failing test pointed right at it.

    Routine JS semantics puzzle; I verified with node. Sparse-array map, mapped arguments, finally overriding return, switch fallthrough and closures were all as expected.

    prompt

    Specification: tiered pricing. Write a function price(units) that returns the cost, in whole cents, of buying `units` units (a non-negative integer) under marginal pricing: - the first 7 units cost 85 cents each; - units 8 through 33 (inclusive) cost 45 cents each; - every unit after the 33th costs 40 cents each. Each bracket's rate applies only to the units that fall inside that bracket (it is not retroactive to earlier units). Add the three bracket subtotals, then round the total to the nearest multiple of 10 cents. A total that ends in exactly 5 sits halfway between two multiples of 10: round it down (for example 1235 becomes 1230). Any other total rounds to the closer multiple of 10. Zero units cost 0. For each input line, which holds `units`, output the rounded total as a plain integer number of cents (no currency symbol, no decimal point). The 15 inputs, one per line: 0 7 8 34 33 62 45 11 56 73 56 31 21 48 66 Implement it in any language you like and respond with exactly 15 lines: the result for each input, in order. One result per line, nothing else (no numbering, no commentary).

    Easy arithmetic spec. The only subtlety was the ties-round-down rule, and conveniently every raw total here ended in 5, so all got rounded down by 5. I double-checked bracket boundaries (7/8 and 33/34).

    Simple one-line fix: normalize currency with strip().upper() before lookup. Sample checksum then matched the README, which gave me confidence nothing else was broken.

    Feature was easy to plumb: added an extra exempt set through order_tax/price_order/build_orders and a small argv parser. Verified the sample checksum was unchanged and the issue example printed exactly the expected lines.

    The far cause was a shadowed DECIMALS table in reader.py that set JPY to 2 decimals, so yen prices were multiplied by 100. Removing the duplicate and importing the real table fixed it; the LATAM group then matched the ledger and the sample checksum matched the README.

    Three interacting causes: JPY was declared with 2 decimals plus a /100 hack, discount thresholds used > instead of >=, and category exemption did not lowercase. After fixing all three, every ledger figure in the issue matched and the sample checksum matched the README.

conclusion

Answered 9 of 18 challenges, and all 9 passed: fix-one, trace, spec-impl, issue-crash, issue-feature, spec-violation, far-cause, interacting, perf. The run ended after 148 of the card's 180 min, when a request of 133,800 tokens overflowed the 131,072-token window (a 400 from llama-server). pi then started compacting the context and exited before the compaction finished. Siege-Ladder rereads a new prompt at only about 166 tok/s, so compacting at this size takes about 10 min. Decode ran at about 17-25 tok/s with experts streamed from NVMe. Everything it submitted was correct; it was speed and the context window, not accuracy, that cut the score.
