The deny list
What the site never accepts, such as the oracle agent and options that swap the model, and what the maintainers curate for readers instead.
You can run any dataset from a registry, any model and any agent. The site's policy names only what it never accepts, and what the maintainers curate for readers.
What is never accepted
The deny list can name agents, models, datasets and registries, each with a reason. Today it names one agent: oracle, which runs the task's reference solution and would top every board without being a harness.
The site refuses a job that ran something on the list with cell-denied, and stores nothing:
The maintainers add to the list what they find abused.
Options that swap the model
A board holds its model fixed, so the site refuses, with model-option, any agent option that names a model or a model endpoint: claude-code's fallback_model, an address such as api_base, or a model inside an object option, such as config.model.
An option names a model when its name ends in model, models, model_name, model_id, model_class, model_type, model_api, base_url, api_base, api_url, endpoint, provider, backend or llm_type, in any case and with any separators. So does an option whose value is an object, or JSON text, with such a key at any depth.
Options a board holds
The named boards run claude-code with disable_web_search: true, because its web search runs out of the allowlist's reach. A run there that sets the option otherwise is refused with option-fixed; see Options a board holds.
What the maintainers curate
The policy also holds what helps readers. None of it limits what you can upload:
the known datasets, with a title, a description and a quick set; any other dataset is unreviewed;
the featured boards on the home page, chosen from boards on known datasets;
the display names readers see, such as DeepSeek-Flash for
deepseek/deepseek-flash;the named subsets and quick sets of the known datasets, such as
sample-50;what the site can issue: the named boards' benchmarks, models and agents, as in Issue a run first.
