Developer Przemysław Dębiak won the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2025 against an AI in a 10-hour coding battle. The contest, known for its complex optimization challenges, featured human programmers competing for efficient problem solutions. Dębiak scored approximately 45.2 billion points, leading OpenAI's 'OpenAIAHC' by about five percent with a score of 43 billion. Although the results are provisional, Dębiak expressed confidence in his victory, despite the physical exhaustion from the event, having slept little prior.
Dębiak's custom-coded program achieved a score of approximately 45.2 billion points, edging out OpenAI's entry, 'OpenAIAHC', which scored around 43 billion.
Humanity has prevailed (for now!) declared Dębiak, expressing confidence that his lead over the AI was substantial enough to hold.
The AtCoder contest is an optimisation programming event where participants must devise the most efficient solution to a complex problem for which a perfect answer is practically impossible to find.
Problems in AtCoder Heuristic Contests are notoriously complex, involving tasks like resource allocation or scheduling, often with solutions that are extremely challenging to uncover.
