ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
An OpenAI-backed coding agent. 12 elite competitive programmers flown to Tokyo. A 10-hour marathon solving an NP-hard puzzle in front of a live stream. And a very sleep-deprived human still manages to beat the AI at its own game. In this episode of SEEK Bytes, Elliott Millar, Will, Seamus and Arnav break down the World Tour Finals heuristic contest where a human edged out a custom AI built just for competitive coding.
In this episode, we explore:
• How the competition was set up so both humans and a custom OpenAI agent had to race the same brutally hard optimisation problem under tight time limits
• The surprisingly simple strategy a sleep-deprived engineer used to out-score a specialised AI model
• What we can learn from how the AI iterated, refactored and “thought” about code during the contest
• Why the story might change when you put the human’s winning code back into the AI – and what that says about humans + AI working together
Whether you’re in software engineering, data, SRE, platforms, security or any IT role wondering how far AI coding tools can really go – and where humans still have the edge – this episode is a fast-paced, deeply nerdy look at the future of competitive problem solving and day-to-day development with AI in the loop.

What if you could spin up a whole AI workforce on your own machine – planners, “engineers”, researchers and content creators – and run it all from a simple chat window? In this episode of SEEK Bytes, we explore OpenClaw, the agent platform that lets you act like the CEO while AI agents do the grunt…
This episode of SEEK Bytes steps away from code to celebrate one of SEEK’s most loved traditions: Hackathon. Will is joined by Kat, Andy and Glenn to lift the lid on how a twice-yearly, three-day event brings together people from every corner of SEEK to dream up bold ideas – many of which end up on…
Imagine updating a trusted monorepo tool… and the next time you open your terminal it asks for your password, then tries to shut your machine down. In this episode of SEEK Bytes, Will, Seamus and SEEK Staff Engineer Trevor Kilvington unpack the NX supply chain attacks – how they unfolded, why they …
This is a special SEEK Bytes drop – outside the regular Season 3 line-up – because the recent Axios NPM hack is too important to ignore. In this episode of SEEK Bytes the crew sit down with Eldar Marcussen from SEEK’s offensive security team to unpack what actually happened, why supply-chain attack…
