"They get the 2 million in... fricking token credits? How the bleep are they going to buy food and stuff with that?"
I think it means something different: it probably means _each participant_ gets to _use 2 million dollars_ worth of LLM tokens. (Or it could be all participants combined; each would make more sense, since Anthropic or OpenAI will claim that their LLM solved the problem if any participant solves a problem.)
Everything AI is sleazy. Everything.
