Hey.

Thanks for your query. Unfortunately, no. AWS credits are not available for participants to spend on training.

During the Open Development Phase, we expect teams to use their institutional or publicly available compute resources (e.g. Kaggle, Colab) to develop and train their AI models. Inference on the validation and testing datasets will be hosted by us on the Grand Challenge platform (via AWS in backend). During the Closed Testing Phase (which only the top 5 teams can qualify for), we will host all compute resources needed for both training and testing.

Hope this helps.
