How are they faster? I don’t think any ELO report actually comes from participating at a live coding contest on previously unseen problems.

- qsort 11mo agoMy background is more on math competitions, but all of those things are essentially speed contests. The skill comes from solving hard problems within a strict time limit. If you gave people twice the time, they'd do better, but time is never going to be an issue for a computer. Comparing raw Elo ratings isn't very indicative IMHO, but I do find it plausible that in closed, game-like environments models could indeed achieve the superhuman performance the Elo comparison implies, see my other comment in this thread.
