Sample run

Submit a curated demo Brief to see the pipeline end-to-end without burning CU.

The Sample Run feature lets you trigger a full pipeline run on a pre-curated Brief, so you can see exactly what Blueprint produces without spending your own Compute Units.

How to start one

From the home page (signed in):

  1. Look for the Try a sample run button (visible on first login, then under the New Mission form)
  2. Click — you'll be redirected to the run's status page
  3. The pipeline runs end-to-end, just like a normal run

A sample run takes the same wall-clock time as a normal run on the same Brief (typically 8–15 minutes).

What the sample Brief is

The sample uses a publicly-releasable mission Brief from our benchmark set — typically the DARPA FoundSci Autonomous Scientist specification or a similar open call. We choose Briefs that:

  • Are fully public (no IP concerns)
  • Are detailed enough to produce a rich artifact set
  • Cover the structure a real engineering customer would expect

The exact sample Brief may change as we update the corpus.

What you get

A full artifact bundle — same as if you'd submitted it yourself. You can:

  • Browse the bundle in the explorer
  • Download the ZIP
  • Try Revisions on any node
  • Chat with the project to see how that works
  • Compare the bundle to one you might produce for the same problem

Cost

TIP
Sample runs are free. The sample Brief is processed at Blueprint's expense, so you can evaluate the product without spending your own CU.

You can run the sample as many times as you want.

Why this exists

Two reasons:

  1. Pre-purchase evaluation — Free tier gives you 50 CU per month, enough for one small Brief. We don't want you to spend that on evaluating Blueprint when you could spend it on your actual work
  2. Onboarding — seeing the bundle on a real Brief is much faster than reading documentation about what's in it. The Reading your first artifact bundle page pairs well with viewing a sample run output side-by-side
