The 6th International Verification of Neural Networks Competition (VNN-COMP'25), to be held with the 8th International Symposium on AI Verification (SAIV'25) at the 37th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV'25) over July 21-22, 2025, in Zagreb, Croatia, aims to bring together researchers interested in formal methods and tools providing guarantees about the behaviors of neural networks and systems built from them. Participation will again be conducted remotely in advance of the conference and attendance at the conference will not be required, but results will be finalized and presented there.

The website has been updated with tentative dates for the 2025 edition, which will overall follow similar procedures as the prior couple iterations. We plan one change to encourage participation, in that participants in the competition will have the opportunity to submit and publish with the SAIV Springer LNCS proceedings a "Competition Contribution" paper describing their contributed tool or benchmark, inspired by such papers presented at SV-COMP. SAIV also has a paper track on benchmarks and case studies for more in depth benchmark contributions participants may consider.

If you are interested to participate with a tool, propose a benchmark, or participate otherwise, please submit the registration/interest form here so we can keep you apprised of next steps.
