In case you haven't noticed, tourist won Meta HackerCup with score of 71 points, and AI track was won by phpduke with score of 70. Razorthin margin, but humans prevailed this time!
It is chilling to think that some Agentic System can beat tourist already, and its not even a frontier model lab with bazillion money but a researcher likely with small training budget.
If he had submitted on Human track, this AI would have won $10,000! On a fun side note, Who said being in research you can't make money lmao.
I still remember people talking on codeforces years ago if one day AI would beat tourist or not, and today we are here past that!
Anyways it would be super interesting to hear thoughts from both tourist & phpduke as both of them are working at companies building AI Software engineer!
They are secret agents, trying to don't give AI be better than people :)
Okay you got me curious where are they working for building AI Software Engineer? I would apply lmao.
Man, level up your stalking creds.
tourist -> software engineer at Cognition phpduke -> building Flames.blue
cognition is building AI software engineer to help developers, and flames is building AI software engineer to help non-developers.
