Is anyone from Google able to clarify if we need to submit the full code or just the part which uses Gemini? My project has proprietary code which I do not wish to submit.
If we can submit partial code (ie the part that uses Gemini), how will the judges verify that that partial code that uses Gemini is indeed called from the main project?
Code is required. Not including code may result in disqualification.
The rules describe the categories to be scored on, up to a total score of 65, and has 5 points for code implementation quality. It also does not say how a 100-way tie would be resolved.
Here’s the full rules, with the remainder placed in the forum’s expanding sections if you want to read the context.
