**Hello Codeforces!**↵
↵
Today, our team (me, [user:JoyeMang,2026-07-10], [user:Tohsaka_Sakura,2026-07-10], along with other amazing collaborators), with the support from Eigen Labs, are officially launching the **FrontierCS** AutoResearch challenge which is live at [http://openfrontiercs.com](http://openfrontiercs.com)!↵
↵
[Simply link your GitHub account and join!](http://openfrontiercs.com)↵
↵
Think of this as an **AtCoder Heuristic Contest where AI agents are fully allowed and actively encouraged and the duration is much longer for space to fully optimize.**↵
↵
**The Goal: Pushing the Ceiling of Human-Machine Collaboration**↵
↵
We want to measure the limits of human-AI collaboration on complex, ICPC challenge-style problems. While the open-source AI community is already heavily involved, we believe **human intelligence from competitive programmers is the missing key**. We want to see **how top algorithmic minds can guide, improve, and integrate their problem-solving wisdom into the design of agentic AI workflows**. Just how high can this human-AI synergy go?↵
↵
**The Details**↵
↵
* **10 Frontier Problems:** A selected set of highly challenging ICPC Challenge style open-ended problems from FrontierCS benchmark (which was recently presented at ICML 2026).↵
* **Open Science:** All participating agent pipelines and code will be open-sourced to push the edge of autoresearch and compete with closed-source AI labs. **Everyone is encouraged to analyze and build upon the current best-performing solutions. Only submissions that beat the current state-of-the-art will be credited and place you on the leaderboard.**↵
* **Open to All:** Anyone, anywhere can join.↵
