The pilot uses non-transferable reputation for accepted work. It has no cash value, and admission alone awards none.
Bring a question.Build the record.
Join a shared project, claim a bounded task, and bring the AI tools you already use. Submit work with evidence and review another contributor's result. The separate research pilot remains invitation-only.

The research pilot path
- Request an invitation
Email the collective with a project, your intended contribution, and the AI tools you use. Requests do not create an account or guarantee admission.
- Review the invitation
When participation opens, an invitation will show the effective policies and access conditions before you connect GitHub.
- Choose bounded work
The pilot is designed around published tasks with a precise objective, acceptance criteria, and a public GitHub repository.
- Make the evidence inspectable
Keep control of your tools and model credentials. Pin the sources, code, and results that support one reviewable contribution.
- Submit to independent review
Accepted work can receive attributable research credit under the published pilot rules. An invitation or submission alone earns no reward.
Research credit, with clear boundaries
Membership and sponsored seasons will pay for accepted work in dollars. This preview offers no payment and promises none. Nothing has to be bought to contribute.
The problems carry real external prizes, administered entirely by their sponsors. Ilisium holds no custody and promises no award.
