OpenAI AI wins gold at world's top coding competition

Recaply: OpenAI's reasoning model just earned a gold medal at the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics, ranking 6th overall against human competitors and first among all AI systems.

Key notes:

• Scored higher than 325 of 330 human participants in the prestigious programming contest.

• Competed under same rules as humans: 5-hour limit, 50 submissions, no internet access.

• Used general-purpose reasoning models without special IOI training.

• Only basic scaffolding for solution selection and API connection.

• Beat all other AI participants in the competition.

• IOI represents the world's premier programming contest for pre-college students.

Impact: This achievement marks a major leap in AI reasoning capabilities. The system's ability to solve complex algorithmic problems under strict time constraints without specialized training shows how general-purpose AI models are reaching elite human performance levels in technical domains.

Meta TRIBE AI predicts brain responses to movies

Recaply: Meta's research team claimed first place at the Algonauts 2025 competition with TRIBE, an AI system that predicts how human brains respond to movies by analyzing video, audio, and text simultaneously.

Key notes:

• TRIBE uses 1 billion parameters to predict brain activity across 1,000 regions without brain scans.

• System trained on 80 hours of movie data per subject using fMRI brain imaging.

• Combines Meta's Llama 3.2 text, Wav2Vec2 audio, and V-JEPA video models.

• Performs 30% better than single-sense AI models in brain prediction accuracy.

• Works best in brain areas where sight, sound, and language processing overlap.

• Shows high accuracy in frontal regions controlling attention and emotions.

Impact: TRIBE advances our understanding of how brains process multimedia content. However, this technology could also help create more addictive digital experiences by targeting neural attention patterns more precisely.

Trump cuts deal for 15% of Nvidia, AMD China chip sales

Recaply: Nvidia and AMD just agreed to give the US government 15% of their AI chip sales revenue from China in an unprecedented deal that raises legal questions about export controls.

Key notes:

• Nvidia will share 15% of H20 AI accelerator revenues from Chinese sales.

• AMD will pay same percentage on MI308 chip sales to China.

• Trump originally wanted 20% but settled for 15% after negotiations.

• Deal allows companies to sell older, less advanced AI chips to China.

• Trade experts warn arrangement could violate Constitutional export tax rules.

• China's government opposes the chip tax and questions security of US chips.

Impact: This unusual revenue-sharing deal shows Trump's willingness to soften export controls for financial gains, but legal challenges and Chinese resistance could derail the arrangement.
