Hey! Cool competition. I've been golfing a lil on these colored grids
Are there plans to make the metrics for the public leaderboard more secure soon or only near the end?
Also, I'm curious how far you guys have been able to golf task 005 ! Most tasks I get to sub200, but with task 005 I'm sitting at 800 characters ๐
Though I dont have much golfing experience ๐
Iโm also still at like 750 for 005.
I think itโd be nice if the leaderboard could be secured kinda soon ๐
Hey I just found this out now!
I have experience in ML and in ARC but never did a kaggle competition
Any recomendations for getting started?
this isn't really much of an ML competition, but more a code golfing competition (making code as short as possible)
but if you wish to get started, you can try taking a look at the overview tab to see an example program and start off with an easy arc task
or look at example notebooks on the code tab
well, ahead of my 780 :P
Thanks ๐
found a way to optimize to 607 characters now :)
Task 5 is going to be long :(. I am guessing the best solution will be around 250, but the amount of time to get that is not feasible to do on many problems
I have managed 301, but I imagine much less is possible
nice!
Hi,
Does anyone wanna colab in the competition? I have currently allt he solutions of the problem. If you know python, all we need to do is compress the solutions to optimize points ๐
how many points do you have if rn since u already have all the solutions?
Hey guys, when will the scoreboard be fixed?
DM'ed
LB now fixed!
@gloomy isle do you know if the locking of public sharing notebooks this early in the competition was intentional? Usually that only happens the final week of the competition. Seeing a few threads about this: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/google-code-golf-2025/discussion/602646 https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/google-code-golf-2025/discussion/604940 where people wanted to share their existing solutions but were blocked. No worries if intentional just seems odd considering existing public ones can still be updated.
Saw the updates on those discussions, thank you Michael!
we've got 800k points in total & we're looking for teammates!
please DM ASAP!
you should be experienced with code golfing!
I joined today, and it is my first golf code competition. The use of LLMs is totally fine, right?
yes
Hey guys Iโm a student from UCL and Iโm looking for teammates. Have prior machine learning background. Can communicate in English or Cantonese. DM if interested!
Hey folks I am not a code golfer but have experience with the data and have several fresh ideas on how to automate the golfing, looking for a team. eng/de, DM me if interested
were the capstone project submission on there in 5 day gen ai competition ? Anyone have any idea
The project will be given on 14 November and You'll need to submit it by 30 November (according to what I found)
Hey friends, i'm sure this has already been answered somewhere but why is it when I do the full validation on all 400 locally all my tasks pass, but when I submit i get a few that don't pass? I have checks to ensure python standard library as well.
Often a python version issue. I'd recommend testing in a kaggle notebook so you have a similar environment to the judge.
whats the official python version?
3.11.something
If you're using exec/eval, that had some notable changes to variable scoping in later versions
Thanks. been using my own tooling and was hoping to avoid using a kaggle notebook
Yeah 3.11.13. issue was the exec thing. Thanks for the help!!
anyone have any tips on task 209?
This is the only task I haven't gotten to a score better than 1
