FrontierChallenge reference data
FrontierChallenge reference data provides 97 authenticated, encrypted verifier archives.
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
tasks/<task-id>/verifier.fcref |
encrypted tests/: grader, rubric, fixtures, validation code, and reference outputs |
manifest.jsonl |
archive paths, sizes, and SHA-256 commitments |
source_registry.json |
release binding shared with GitHub and the solve dataset |
tools/ |
integrity checker and standalone unsealer |
The archive password is public:
frontier-challenge-reference
Encryption prevents casual search-engine and Dataset Viewer indexing; it is not access control. Anyone evaluating the benchmark can unseal an archive:
python tools/unseal_verifier.py tasks/<task-id>
Normal evaluation does not require manual unsealing. The
FrontierChallenge runtime
verifies the solve/reference registry, copies the selected archive into
evaluator-owned staging, authenticates and decrypts tests/, and gives Harbor
that staged task. Harbor exposes the instruction and environment to the agent
but reserves tests/ for its verifier phase.
This repository deliberately contains no instructions, task inputs, or runtime environments. Verify a downloaded reference package with:
python tools/verify_reference_dataset.py
