|
|
| ## Official pre-flight checklist |
|
|
| - [x] Every model is under 32B total parameters: |
| - `openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B` |
| - `nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16` |
| - `openai/privacy-filter` |
| - [x] Gradio app deployed as a Space in `build-small-hackathon`. |
| - [x] Demo video produced and uploaded to YouTube. |
| - [x] Backup demo MP4 hosted as a public Space asset. |
| - [x] X post published and linked from README. |
| - [x] ZeroGPU usage is one Space for this app. |
| - [x] README frontmatter includes track / quest tags and model metadata. |
|
|
| ## Quest / challenge eligibility |
|
|
| - Backyard AI: eligible. The app solves a concrete workflow problem for coding |
| agent users. |
| - Best Use of Codex: eligible. Codex helped build, package, document, demo, and |
| verify the project; GitHub commits include Codex co-author trailers. |
| - Best MiniCPM Build: eligible. Quick analysis uses `openbmb/MiniCPM5-1B`. |
| - Nemotron Hardware Prize: eligible. Deeper analysis uses |
| `nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16`. |
| - Off Brand: eligible. The UI is a custom React field-notebook/trail-map |
| experience served through `gradio.Server`, not stock Gradio components. |
| - Best Demo: eligible. The YouTube demo, backup MP4 asset, and public X post are |
| prepared. |
| - Tiny Titan: not eligible because the project offers an optional 30B Nemotron |
| path. |
| - Best Use of Modal: not eligible; the runtime is Hugging Face ZeroGPU / CPU. |
| - Best Agent: not targeted. The app is agent-callable, but the app itself is not |
| a multi-step autonomous tool-use agent. |

|
| ## Submission-form summary |
|
|
| Trace Field Notes is a Build Small Backyard AI app for people using coding |
| agents. Upload a Codex, Claude Code, or Pi Agent session log and the app turns |
| the agent's visible narrative messages into a qualitative field report: where it |
| got stuck, how it detoured, how it recovered, and whether its final claim matched |
| its own evidence. It uses a custom React UI served by `gradio.Server`, a |
| deterministic codebook analyzer, optional MiniCPM5 1B quick analysis, optional |
| Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B deeper analysis, and privacy redaction before analysis. |
| Codex helped build, debug, document, deploy-package, and produce the narrated |
| demo video, with Codex-attributed commits in the connected GitHub repository. |
