- Claude Code · LLM prompt harness
An AI fiction contest awarded a $10,000 grand prize to A. Best's 'The June,' after judges reviewed stories created through prompts and model harnesses rather than hand-edited prose.
How solid is this number?
The credited author 'A. Best' appears to be a pen name; the contest required the story to come from the entrant's prompt/harness rather than hand editing.
