"In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have become an integral part of many software developers' toolkits, helping them build, refine, and deploy apps more quickly and effectively. Now, Google says that one of its most advanced models has achieved a major coding breakthrough that could help lead to new scientific discoveries -- including, potentially, the attainment of artificial general intelligence, or AGI."
"Gemini's suprising victory The ICPC is widely recognized as the world's most prestigious and difficult university-level coding competition. Teams hailing from close to 3,000 universities across 103 countries competed in this year's finals, which were held Sept. 4 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Each team must solve a set of complex problems within a five-hour time period. There's no room for error: Only perfect answers get points."
Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, a state-of-the-art AI model, achieved gold at the 2025 ICPC World Finals by correctly solving 10 of 12 problems. The model functions as an automated integrated team where multiple agents propose solutions, execute code and tests in terminals, and iterate based on attempts. The ICPC finals featured teams from nearly 3,000 universities across 103 countries solving complex problems within a five-hour window where only perfect answers score. Google suggests the win demonstrates advanced reasoning capabilities and could influence scientific discovery and progress toward artificial general intelligence.
