A rush into the front pack

The team listed as 復活の混テキスト made a striking verified move into the top ten: its public score rose from 30.51 at the prior evening observation to 38.15, carrying it from 198th to eighth. That places it in the provisional public gold band. The public gold cutoff rose from 34.43 to 35.44 over the same observed window, so the pace of the field rose too.

Two scores at the summit

Tufa Labs leads at 55.89, with Yi-Chia Chen second at 55.77, a gap of 0.12 points at the latest snapshot. The brief has no usable prior-evening comparison for Chen, so her current proximity does not establish when that gap closed. Majkel1337 is third at 42.66; the last dance 🕺 and dreach.ai follow in fourth and fifth. Tufa Labs was also named by ARC Prize as the first-place open-source solution in the June milestone, a separate result from this evening’s standings.
