You’d also have to make sure they were using clean computers without any local models installed, and coding models are pretty easy to run without high end GPUs.

I don’t know if I would consider this modern coding using modern coding tool chains anymore though. It might still be a nice competition to run, but it is increasingly displaced from what it means to be a professional programmer (I’ve stopped caring about these competition wins on resumes a long time ago).
