Participate in 4 steps (light track)
The instrument is a single pure-Python script — no install, no GPU, works the same on Windows, Linux and macOS. Its default reproduces the leaderboard baseline; replace one function with your own method to compete.

2Get the instrument (any OS, no install)
huggingface-cli download FINAL-Bench/OSC-Superconductor \ instrument/osc_instrument.py instrument/pair_baseline.py \ --repo-type dataset --local-dir osc cd osc/instrument # Windows / Linux / macOS — pure Python, nothing to install
3Pick a material and run
python osc_instrument.py --material_id OSC-00129 --author YOUR_NAME # reads the material's (t, U, N(E_F)); prints a score on the leaderboard's scale # -> submission.json (to compete: edit estimate_pairing() with your own method)
4Submit your score
On this page, open the material in the Active Challenge tab, enter your score in "Submit your estimate", and click Submit (you must be signed in). Advanced: open a PR adding submission.json under submissions/ in the dataset repo.
