Competition Generalist Track

Generalization is a matrix, not one score.

G0–G7 separates same-context debugging from unseen perturbation, donor, state, laboratory, disease and combination tasks.

Competition task adapter

Wait for official schema

Input, output, cell scale, gene universe, splits, metric weights and submission format remain null until an official task specification is published.

Evaluation dependency

Cell-Eval target pin 0.8.2

The current site runs an internal formula-aligned aggregate adapter, not the official AnnData suite. Version pinning and metric golden tests are required before a competition result is claimed.

Boundary. Registered tasks and model architecture are not benchmark results. Missing donor, state, disease and cell-distribution truth remains null and locked.
