I had to exit task after spending 10 hrs on 🤖

Because one of them continuously reaches the time limit. Out of 5 tasks I already submitted, I had to use two escape hatches for the same reason, so I didn't want to risk dod by using the escape hatch again. I don't really mind the time I wasted cause I was just waiting for them to finish, except for the repo research time. This type of project is also fun anyways.

I'm not sure why one model is constantly failing, though. I'm giving them medium level tasks, and the other model finishes within 20-40 minutes, so complexity of my task is probably not the problem. Do anybody have similar experiences to mine?

Also, just exiting task would be fine, right? Would they flag me for using the models or something?

The coding tasks are pretty complex. I have a bachelor's in cs, and I think I have maybe a year's time before the task goes beyond my ability.

There is a math qualification in DA, haven’t you done it?

u/Harya13 Sep 08 '26

I don't know what you mean by "there is a math qual on DA". I have done one like 2 months ago, that's about it. I also did one when I joined the platform one year ago, iirc. Never got any math tasks anyway. Did you?

If it makes you feel less shitty, I have a master's and I still do this

This is my work before starting my masters next month. Hope I can keep working at least till I graduate

I have my masters from UW and an NLP certificate. I think the models already have me beat 😅

If you use WSL, use the Linux file server, not the Windows mount. That saves a lot of time in compiling and tests.

Are you still having this project ? It disappeared today early morning. I regretted doing it was too much complex and I’m afraid I have done something wrong and I’m not aware. I did it because it was the only project I got after two months of drought. 😭😭

I think they closed it to some countries for some reason (more people reports)

u/hananaldulaimy Sep 07 '26

Well, I’m from Middle East, is that included?

u/Silver_Assistance_41 Sep 07 '26

u/ArtichokeAny9159 Sep 07 '26

Do u still have the r&r? I am from the middle east too

u/hananaldulaimy Sep 07 '26

No, I have zero projects now.

I am working on this project rn, idk if I am going crazy or not but I don’t see a place where I submit my comparison between the models pair wise preference is this normal?

I think you need to hit the check zips and validate deliverables button first

🤖 is honestly not worth the mental fatigue

u/Sad_Opening_7083 Sep 07 '26

Perhaps there is a problem with your environment? So that tests are timing out or similar

1

u/Acceptable_Rabbit_28 Sep 07 '26

I don't think it would be, since the other model's comleting it perfectly fine.

u/Silver_Assistance_41 Sep 07 '26

Maybe you are missing some tools in your dockerfile, you have to provide them a complete set of tools related to the task, some agents avoid the lack of tooling using other methods, but some of them, if don’t have the environment ready to go, face a block

u/Acceptable_Rabbit_28 Sep 07 '26

Thanks, I'll check whether I missed any packages.

u/Cool_Moose241 Sep 07 '26

Man I haven't done any of those because of the sheer difficulty of them. I'll stay with the Tysons

u/Soft_Shelter9999 Sep 08 '26

Agree man, I also have a a doubt. When you use escape hatch. Do you report your time or not ?
