It's extremely unlikely for o3 to have hit 2700 on live contests as such a rapid increase in score would have been noticed by the community. I can't find anything online detailing how contamination was avoided since it clearly wasn't run live, including in their video, and neither could I find details about the methodology (number of submissions being the big one, in contests you can also get 'hacked' esp. at a high level), problem selection, etc... Additionally, people weren't able to replicate o1-mini results in live contests straightforwardly - often getting scores between 700 and 1200, which raises questions as for the methodology. Perhaps o3 really is that good, but I just don't see how you can claim what you claimed for o3, we have no idea that the problems have never been seen, and the fact people find much lower Elo scores with o1/o1-mini with proper methodology raises even more questions, let alone conclusively proving these are truly novel tasks it's never seen.
