A higher floor for gold

guoqin gu improves from 61.81 to 64.72 and moves from sixteenth to fifteenth. Artificial Agency Lab’s separate ARC-2 entry slips to sixteenth on an unchanged 63.06, which becomes the new provisional gold cutoff, up from 61.81. Youssef Nader remains first outside at 60.97: the score needed to reach the last gold place is now 2.09 points away. The same entries occupy the gold band as at the overnight baseline; the pressure comes from a higher floor within the same 16-team band.

Ten-point jumps change the next chase

NguyenThanhNhan advances from 41.25 to 52.08 and reaches 27th in the final observation. Yanming (Owen) Dong also starts at 41.25, improves to 51.25 and closes 28th after briefly reaching 27th. The collector recorded the gains from 48th and 47th respectively. These are score events, rather than complete baseline comparisons: both advances reach at least ten points and carry the entries into the top thirty, below the gold race. Tufa Labs still leads at 88.06, with Yi-Chia Chen second at 83.89 and rabbithole third at 80.56.

Seventh moves closer to the tie above

ALbert RUehlman remains seventh but raises the score from 70.56 to 71.39 in a recorded overnight event. That leaves a 0.42-point gap to both _hans and Majkel1337 at 71.81, ranked fifth and sixth. nvbanana is still fourth at 79.17. Itsu’s ｶﾎｳｼｭｳｾｲ entry stays eighth at 70.28, ahead of ARC Raiders and Sakayori Lab. The order of the top ten is unchanged, even though seventh’s score is not.

The wire’s moves in the closing picture

Something AI Related finishes 73rd at 36.25. Its overnight gain is 2.78 points from 33.47, with a move from 99th; the wire’s larger 429-place climb used an earlier rolling window and is not another overnight jump. Sunstone North Lab and Hiểu Vy close 37th and 38th at 44.58 and 44.03. Their gains reported by the wire had already arrived before this edition’s midnight baseline. The earlier loss of gold places by ARCward Intelligence and Kajetan Schweighofer also predates that baseline; they remain eighteenth and nineteenth.
