NeurIPS 2026 Competition Track
Verifiable AI for quantitative finance.
Welcome to Agenthon 2026! The SQA is thrilled to announce #Agenthon2026, organized jointly by the Society of Quantitative Analysts (SQA), the oldest and most prestigious quant organization in New York, and the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT) at Stony Brook University.
Agenthon 2026 is a NeurIPS 2026 Competition Track on verifiable AI for quantitative finance — a four-track competition testing whether AI agents can produce finance outputs that survive automated, leakage-controlled, cheat-resistant evaluation.
Agenthon extends the Alphathon program into its first NeurIPS edition, keeping the four-track structure and hard finance setting while adding sealed held-out data, automated leakage controls, reproducible reruns, and public leaderboards. See Alphathon 2025 and Alphathon 2024 under Past Events for the program's history.
