Cooperative AI Foundation

We are excited to launch The Concordia Contest at NeurIPS 2024! This contest challenges participants to advance the cooperative intelligence of language model (LM) agents in rich, text-based environments, based on the recently released Concordia framework, which uses language models to create open-ended worlds similar to tabletop role-playing games. Thanks to the support of Google DeepMind we have now secured additional funding to support participants from underrepresented groups (computer credits and travel grants - $60,000).
