? Przemysław Dembyak, known in programming circles as “Psyho”, became a living legend by defeating artificial intelligence in the finals of the AtCoder World Tour Finals 2025 in Tokyo – one of the most prestigious coding tournaments in the world.
The final brought together the 12 best programmers on the planet and an AI model from OpenAI. All bets were on the machine – but the victory went to a human who, by the end, could barely stand after a 10-hour marathon and three sleepless nights.
The key to his success was a heuristic approach – a mix of logic, intuition, and creative thinking. Something even the most advanced AI still struggles with.
Przemysław scored 1,913,842,558,909 points against the AI’s 1,654,675,725,406. A 9.5% difference – enough for humanity to claim the win.
The exhausted programmer wrote after the finish:
“Humanity has triumphed (for now!)”
Sam Altman, head of OpenAI, personally shook Przemysław’s hand. Organizers admitted: AI is great at optimization – but creativity and flexible thinking still belong to humans.
Who is this hero?
A Mensa member, Polish puzzle champion, and former OpenAI employee (worked on AI for Dota 2).
