"AI model solved a complex real-world problem that stumped human computer programmers to become the first AI model to win a gold medal at an international programming competition held earlier this month in Azerbaijan. In a performance that the tech company called a profound leap in abstract problem-solving it took less than half an hour to work out how to weigh up an infinite number of possibilities in order to send a liquid through a network of ducts to a set of interconnected reservoirs."
"None of the human teams, including the top performers from universities in Russia, China and Japan, got it right. It failed on two out of the 12 tasks it was set, but its overall performance ranked it in second place out of 139 of the world's strongest college level computer programmers. Google said it was a historic moment, towards AGI [artificial general intelligence], which is widely considered human-level intelligence at a wide range of tasks."
Gemini 2.5 solved a complex real-world task by evaluating an infinite set of possibilities to route liquid through ducts into interconnected reservoirs, achieving a gold medal at an international programming competition in Azerbaijan. The model ranked second overall among 139 college-level programmers despite failing two of 12 tasks. DeepMind described the result as a step toward artificial general intelligence and compared its significance to Deep Blue and AlphaGo. The model received special training for very hard coding, mathematics and reasoning problems and performed at the level of a top-20 global coder, with potential applications in drug and chip design and other scientific and engineering disciplines.
