«I’m exhausted,» he said Przemysław Dębiak After defeating an artificial intelligence of OpenAi, creating code for 10 hours. He has been the winner of the ATCODER World Tour Finals 2025 heuristic contest, which has been held in Tokyo (Japan).
Seen from another perspective, the AI OpenAIAHC He has managed to defeat another 11 world tops programmers. It is a great success for Sam Altman’s company.
The artificial intelligence that generates code is increasingly precise. This contest has even more merit because it is not about writing algorithms, but Use heuristic techniqueswhich demand creative thinking.
A Human Code Marathon vs. Ia
In the Heuristic ATCODER World Tour Finals 2025 contest, 12 programmers have participated, the best of the year according to the ranking of this type of event, and artificial intelligence OpenAIAHCa variant of O3 trained to use heuristic programming methods.
The organizers of the contest propose a complicated problem that cannot be solved by applying traditional algorithms, or would require too much time.
To approach as much as possible to the final solution in 600 minutes, that is, 10 hours, developers must apply heuristic techniques: Use experience, intuition and creative thinking to seek unconventional solutions.
The advantage of using the approach to the solution is that it allows establishing a ranking of the programmers, depending on how close they are.
In the contest different programming languages could be used admitted by the organizers, but changing from one to another entailed a five -minute penalty.
After 10 hours of Marathon, the Polish programmer Przemysław Dębiak, who curiously worked for a while in OpenAi, has been the winner of the Heuristic contest atcoder World Tour Finals 2025, with a score of 1,812,272,558,909 points. 500,000 yen (about 2,900 euros) has been taken. Secondly, Openaiahc has remained, with 1,654,675,725,406 points.
In his X account, the winner has said: «I am completely exhausted … I’m barely alive. Humanity prevails (for now).» Luckily anyone informed him that AI was ready for another marathon in just a minute, while he had been half dead …
The second position of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence in the programming contest It can be seen as a defeat, but the reality is that it beat another 11 TOP developers with just a few weeks of training. It will be interesting to see what happens next year …
