Competition shows humans are still better than AI at coding – just

A human just defeated AI in the world coding championship.
One exhausted programmer vs OpenAI's best model.
10 hours. 9.5% margin. This might be the last time we see this happen:

Przemysław Dębiak coded for 10 straight hours in Tokyo.

By the end, he was "completely exhausted" and "barely alive."

But he had done something that may never happen again.

He beat OpenAI's custom model by 9.5%.

The AtCoder World Finals
brought together the top 12 programmers globally.

For the first time, an AI model competed directly against humans.

OpenAI entered their custom reasoning model as a contestant.

The numbers:

- Human score: 1,812,272,558,909 points
- AI score: 1,654,675,725,406 points
- Competition length: 600 minutes

With one hour left, OpenAI's model took the lead.
14 minutes later, Dębiak fought back to first place.
He held it until the final buzzer.

This was AI's first top-3 finish in any premier coding contest.

Think about that trajectory.

Last year, AI models ranked around 10,000th globally
in coding competitions.

This year, second place.

Meanwhile, coding has become AI's most popular use case.

GitHub reports 90% of developers now use AI tools.
Stanford's data shows AI solved 4.4% of coding problems in 2023.

By 2024, that number jumped to 71.7%.

Dębiak's victory feels like chess in 1997.
Garry Kasparov beating Deep Blue one last time.
Before machines took over completely.

The difference:

Kasparov had years before the inevitable.
Dębiak might have months.

This is probably the last year we see this happen.

Psyho could barely stand after the competition but he had achieved something historic.

He very likely won the last human victory in competitive coding.

"Humanity has prevailed (for now!)," he wrote afterward.

That parenthetical says it all.
