Przemysław “Psyho” Dębiak won the Atcoder World Tour Finals 2025. There would be nothing strange if it wasn’t for the fact that he defeated … artificial intelligence in the final.
Atcoder World Tour Finals 2025
Atcoder World Tour Finals 2025 is a tournament tournament – to get to it, a participant must win other of this type, smaller rank competitions. Ultimately, this programming OLIMP includes 12 best programmers who receive algorithmics, AI, statistics, planning and creativity tasks to perform. This year the final took place in Tokyo.
Before I get to what “Psyho” achieved, I will tell you what the final looks like. First of all, the organizers check not only intelligence, but also mental strength – the competition lasted up to 10 hours. Participants received a problem for optimization, but – to make it even harder – this task did not have one solution. Not only that, it cannot be solved well – you could only find a solution in the slightest bad. So you had to show creativity, not just “dry” logic.
The Japanese took high places in the tournament, a programmer from Great Britain took the fourth position, and eleventh from France. Everyone defeated the Pole, the already mentioned “Psyho”, who even defeated Chatgpt, who took second place.
Artificial intelligence defeated!
The Pole’s success is not only a reason to be proud to us all, but also humanity. It turns out that artificial intelligence still cannot compete with human creativity. At least this suggests the success of “Pesha”. Another thing is that AI turned out to be better than most of the most outstanding programmers who took part in the competition, which means that she did better than the vast majority of humanity.
Finally, it is worth adding that the Pole was praised by X Sam Altman, general director of Opeli, i.e. a company that stands behind Chatgpt.
Good job psyho
– Altman wrote in the post.
In his post, however, he warned that the results that he won were temporary. His advantage is to be so large that it is enough for him to take first place.
Humanity has won (for now)
– he wrote.
