Verification notes

Shutdown: The ended original portal explicitly confirms the whole AI CONNECT service ended July 31, 2026 at18:00; the notice does not name a timezone, so do not infer one from location. GenA is a separate successor. Original operator accounts describe training-through-inference work, GPU environments, submissions, automatic model/code performance grading and team management. This is a complete named AI developer workflow, not merely a directory of competitions or one retired model/API. The May 2023 original retrospective dates launch to2021 only; do not convert a March 2021 planned May launch into a proven actual day. First shutdown announcement day remains unknown. Closure source
