>A Polish programmer running on fumes recently accomplished what may soon become impossible: beating an advanced AI model from OpenAI in a head-to-head coding competition. The 10-hour marathon left him "completely exhausted." On Wednesday, programmer Przemysław Dębiak (known as "Psyho"), a former OpenAI employee, narrowly defeated the custom AI model in the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2025 Heuristic contest in Tokyo. AtCoder, a Japanese platform that hosts competitive programming contests and maintains global rankings, held what may be the first contest where an AI model competed directly against top human programmers in a major onsite world championship. During the event, the maker of ChatGPT participated as a sponsor and entered an AI model in a special exhibition match titled "Humans vs AI." Despite the tireless nature of silicon, the company walked away with second place.

Exhausted from a 10hr shift smacking a keyboard, lol.

"Humanity has prevailed (for now!)," wrote Dębiak on X, noting he had little sleep while competing in several competitions across three days. "

Ever work 18 hour shifts 5 days a week for months on end doing concrete and rebar? 10 hours a day smacking a keyboard for three days is not exhausting. Difficult, maybe, exhausting, no.

No, but 16 hours shifts for a shorter amount of days (I dont remember how many 7-10 maybe) and I admit that did exhaust me and I got very grumpy.

I did not mean that it's fine to be exhausted and "barely alive" after 3 days but at least it's a little bit "better" than being exhausted after just 10 hours (i.e. a work day +2 hours) that'd be even more embarrassing.

The mental fatigue of running your brain at full tilt for ten hours to solve a competitive problem is very real.

I actually laughed out loud. I've played 10 hours of video games before too.

Video games are fiction.
