Overview

• The advanced Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, run under ICPC guidance in a remote environment and scored by event coordinators, solved 10 of 12 problems in 677 minutes to a gold-medal level and would rank second versus university teams.
• It completed eight problems within 45 minutes, reflecting rapid progress under contest rules that award points only for correct, time-weighted solutions.
• Gemini alone solved Problem C, a multi-dimensional optimization task, using a priority-value insight with dynamic programming, minimax reasoning, and nested ternary search, finishing that solution after roughly 30 minutes.
• Google reports that internal analyses show gold-medal performance on the 2023 and 2024 ICPC problem sets as well.
• Google attributes the result to advances in multi-step, multi-agent training and has not disclosed the compute required, while the lightweight Deep Think available in the app remains unchanged for subscribers.
