An AI agent outperformed every individual human in an OpenAI hiring challenge to train a small language model under 16 MB. According to Weco CEO Zhengyao Jiang, the agent — built by @victorexplore — ran for 22 days and had 7 of its records accepted by OpenAI, versus 3 for the best human. Quoter victorexplore adds the sharper takeaway: once an agent can win a hiring test, the test measures whoever wrote its harness, not the candidate — and that's the skill worth mastering.
