ICPC World Finals 2025
DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale 10.0 leads since Dec 2025 Fading Models solve the 12 problems of the 2025 ICPC World Finals under contest time and attempt limits. Scored by problems solved.
A one-time contest. Labs run their own judging and submission limits, so results are not strictly comparable.
- Level
- Competition The strongest students, in olympiad-style contests
- Scored
- Checked automatically A program checks the result against an answer key, unit tests or the expected final state.
- Answers
- Code A program or patch run against tests.
2 models share the top score of 10.0 among models released by Mar 2026
Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.
The newest model with a score here came out in Mar 2026, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:
- GPT-6 Astra
- Claude Opus 5.5
- GPT-6.1 Terra
- GPT-6.1 Sol
- and 16 more

| # | Model | Score | Setting | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale | 10.0 | Dec 2025 | Model card | |
| 2 | Nemotron-Cascade 2 30B-A3B | 10.0 | Mar 2026 | Model card | |
| 3 | Ring-1T | 5.00 | Oct 2025 | Model card |
2 models have held number one since its release in Sep 2025
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.
Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
Labs headline it less often now, last in Mar 2026
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
| Date | Launch post | Score | As the post writes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 19 Mar 2026 | Nemotron-Cascade 2 30B-A3B | 10 | ICPC World Finals 2025 (10/12) |
| 10 Oct 2025 | Ring-1T | 5 | ICPC World Finals 2025, three attempts per problem: solved D, F, J, K, L |
2 system cards report it, from 2 labs
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
