"As part of DeepMind’s mission to solve intelligence, we created a system called AlphaCode that writes computer programs at a competitive level. AlphaCode achieved an estimated rank within the top 54% of participants in programming competitions by solving new problems that require a combination of critical thinking, logic, algorithms, coding, and natural language understanding."

Worth noting that in many programming competitions online, a large chunk of competitors either don't submit anything, or only submit a little example.

The real question is whether DeepMind can create a model which can outrun the goalposts.
