AetherCode: Evaluating LLMs’ Ability to Win In Premier Programming Competitions

ICLR 2026poster

Competitive programming has emerged as a critical benchmark for evaluating the reasoning and coding capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite impressive progress on existing benchmarks, we argue that current evaluations overstate model proficiency, masking a substantial gap between LLMs…
