Need Detailed Submission Failure Logs
Models run locally but crash at 800s on platform with zero error output.
A widespread issue is plaguing the 'AI for Industry Challenge' on a major competition platform: submissions that run flawlessly locally mysteriously fail after upload, leaving participants with no error logs. User deepkevin0122 (team starvla) described their VLA model, which uses micromamba to launch a separate inference environment, finishing locally in ~2 minutes but failing after about 800 seconds on the platform. They tried moving imports and model loading into __init__() and removing time.sleep delays, but the submission still fails with only header information visible.
Other threads confirm the problem is not isolated. User jennifer linked to a discussion with 39 replies and 504 views, noting many face 'empty stdout files' on valid submissions. Another thread reports failures at exactly ~637 seconds with no engine logs. The community is calling for administrators to provide detailed submission failure logs, timeout limits, and runtime diagnostics. Without logs, debugging becomes guesswork, threatening the competition's fairness and participant morale.
- Models run locally in ~2 minutes but fail after ~800 seconds on the submission platform.
- No runtime logs are provided—only header info (team name and submission ID) is visible.
- Multiple users report identical issues (failure at ~637s, empty stdout), indicating a platform-wide bug.
Why It Matters
Without runtime logs, developers cannot debug model failures, stalling progress and eroding trust in AI competitions.
