This is an amazing invitation！IAEPC is coming！ round，time………………

Thanks to ………………

The International AI Elite Programming Contest (IAEPC) is a top-tier international competition initiated under the joint initiative of the Western Returned Scholars Foundation and the International Association of Artificial Intelligence and Data Industry. The competition aims to unite top AI talents and programming elites worldwide to explore the infinite possibilities of AI technology applications across various industries through innovative, challenging, and collaborative sessions. It also strives to promote AI technology's creative development and practical application.

The inaugural event in 2025 will be held in Hong Kong.This competition is divided into two stages: preliminaries and finals.The preliminaries will be conducted online on January 20, 2025, and the top 50 contestants will be invited to participate in the offline finals. Offline participants must be at least 18 years old, and we will cover the travel expenses for offline contestants.The finals are scheduled to take place in CUHK from February 27 to March 2, 2025，dividing into traditional and innovative tracks. The traditional track will follow the similar format to the preliminaries, while the innovative track will assess contestants' ability to solve problems in collaboration with artificial intelligence.

The finals will determine the winners of the first, second, and third prizes, with prize money of 10000 USD for the champion, 5000 USD for the runner-up, and 3000 USD for the third-place winner.

We will invite participants to propose a programming problem that they deem the most difficult for large models, ultimately forming the most challenging benchmark in this field. Through this benchmark, we aim to explore what problems large models excel at solving in AI Coding, as well as their shortcomings, thereby guiding the future direction of AI Coding development. One year later, we will review which of the originally unsolvable problems have been tackled by AI and release a new benchmark based on these findings. We are calling for programming problems to large models and if you have some idea, feel free to contact ………….

We hope you can enjoy this round. GL&&HF！
