Not completely sure how your reply relates to my comment. I was just mentioning the competition is on Heuristics which is different from what you find on CF or most coding competitions.

About the performance of AI on competitions, I agree what's difficult for it is different from what's difficult for us.

Problems that are just applying a couple of obscure techniques may be easier for them. But some problems I've solved required a special kind of visualization/intuition which I can see being hard for AI. But I'd also say that of many Math Olympiad problems and they seem to be doing fine there.

I've almost accepted it's a matter of time before they become better than most/all of the best competitors.

For context, I'm a CF Grandmaster but haven't played much with newer models so maybe I'm underestimating their weaknesses.
