Vibe Coding: Evaluation & Results Clarification
Dear Participants, The evaluation was conducted in two stages: Stage 1: Nine judges each evaluated 21 submissions against the judging criteria and shortlisted their top three. Projects were tested using a ZIP folder containing requirements and sample PDFs. Stage 2: All nine judges jointly reviewed the 27 shortlisted projects using a new, more challenging test dataset. They then selected the final top three collectively, with an additional judge from a non-technical background. We've showed these 27 shortlisted participants in our leaderboard. The previous leaderboard published on NeuroxLab displayed only the Stage 1 results. This updated leaderboard reflects the final standings after the completion of Stage 2 evaluation.
