Beta Submission Results & Rankings
Of the 48 teams competing before the beta deadline, 37 made beta submissions. The following table shows the top 25 teams from the FPL'26 beta evaluation. These 25 teams will proceed to the final round.
Teams are ranked within each benchmark by descending score, with identical
values tied. The overall ranking is determined by the ascending arithmetic mean
of the five benchmark ranks. Standard competition ranking is used for ties
(1, 2, 2, 4).
Each benchmark entry is shown as rank (score).
| Overall | Team | Mean rank | AMD Mini-ISP rank (score) |
BOOM SoC rank (score) |
FIR Systolic rank (score) |
Rosetta Optical Flow rank (score) |
VTR MCML rank (score) |
