In this episode, we explore OpenAI’s latest advancements in large reasoning models (LRMs) and their impact on competitive programming and software development. Based on the research paper “Competitive Programming with Large Reasoning Models” by OpenAI researchers, this discussion highlights how reinforcement learning is revolutionizing AI’s problem-solving capabilities.   From outperforming human competitors in CodeForces to achieving a gold medal in the 2024 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), these models demonstrate the power of AI in high-level reasoning and coding. Can AI truly replace human programmers, or is it merely an advanced assistant?   📢 This episode is part of our ongoing season, where SHIFTERLABS leverages Google LM to demystify cutting-edge research, translating complex insights into actionable knowledge.
