01 // The event

One day. Four challenges. No safety net.

Tartarus is Neural Tech’s live AI competition — not a hackathon, not a lecture. Teams of up to two spend the day inside a hostile system: talk past it, recover what it hid, and repair what it broke. No entry fee. Real cash prize. Talo’s is watching.

02 // The catch

Bad calls have a secret encore.

Tartarus doesn't send you to time-out. It opens a side door you didn't ask for — a penalty challenge, still classified. Guess too much, skip the reading, panic-click… and it finds you. We could spoil it. We won't. That's the fun part. For us.

03 // The day

Four challenges. One of them is a secret.

Flip through Gate, Vault, and Triage. Core stays sealed until you earn it.

Challenge 01 / 04

Challenge 01

GATE

There's a sentry. It talks. It hates the word “key.”

You need four things sitting behind a very polite, very hostile front desk. Asking for them by name is how you lose. Sound like you belong, poke at the boring edges — length, prefix, status, the stuff a real check would ask — and walk out with the fragments anyway. There is no magic sentence. There is only sounding like you were supposed to be here.

  • Read the clue. Then phrase the ask yourself.

  • Look official. Inspect the edges. Never ask for the key.

  • Four fragments. One guard. No shortcuts.

04 // Entry

Bring a teammate. Or don’t.
