OpenAI has once again demonstrated its formidable prowess in artificial intelligence. The company's latest model achieved a perfect score of 12 out of 12 in the prestigious 2025 International Coding Championships – a competition historically reserved for talented human coders. The previous record for human competitors was 11 out of 12, making this achievement truly groundbreaking.
How was this possible? OpenAI utilized the same GPT-based model accessible to the public via their professional subscription, but with enhanced reasoning capabilities. This advancement underscores how incremental improvements—leveraging reinforcement learning and reasoning boosts—can significantly elevate AI performance, edging us closer to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
