OpenAI model humiliated: AtCoder World Finals in Tokyo saw ex-OpenAI engineer Przemysław Dębiak (“Psyho”) crunch numbers for 600 minutes on three hours’ sleep, outscoring AI’s 1,654,675,725,406 by 9.5%. Trending queries like “Can AI really beat humans at coding?” and “OpenAI in competitive programming” collide with the winner’s blunt recap: “Humanity has prevailed (for now!).”

Unlike the tireless silicon rival, Dębiak’s caffeine-and-determination marathon at the world’s most exclusive coding contest earned him 500,000 yen and a place in algorithm folklore. Top searchers ask, “Do programmers still have an edge over AI?” and “How hard are AtCoder Finals?” Picture a sleep-deprived human outlasting an algorithmic colossus under fluorescent Tokyo lights: “I’m barely alive.”

Dębiak’s 1,812,272,558,909-point win required coding for 10 hours straight, beating OpenAI’s simulated reasoning model and 10 elite humans, all while running on fumes and irony.
