Full speed ahead. NVIDIA’s juggernaut has passed Team Turducken, and the climb toward the two strongholds continues. Jean-François Puget and his NVARC3 teammates hold fourth on 56.26 this morning, with Turducken close behind on 56.02. Above them, Yi-Chia Chen and Tufa Labs still command the heights. Can they withstand the siege?

The road from eighth to fourth
The juggernaut advances in bursts. Tong Hui Kang’s leaderboard history shows NVARC3 going from 16.07 to 21.79 and then 37.51 in early October—the second step alone worth 15.72 points. This morning the board lists 80 submissions for NVARC3, against Turducken’s 217 and Tufa’s 179. That history records changes in the public best, not the result of every submission.
Saturday’s NVIDIA seven were eighth on 49.89. Sunday brought another big advance: 56.15, a gain of 6.26 points, four places, and the pass on Turducken. Monday’s extra 0.11 takes NVARC3 to 56.26 and stretches its advantage to 0.24. Next up is xz, third on 58.59, another 2.33 points away.
We met the seven-person crew in Saturday’s NVIDIA profile: Puget, Ivan Sorokin and a formidable gathering of Kaggle talent. Today the numbers tell the story.

The strongholds hold—for now
Yi-Chia Chen @ Fields Model leads on 75.56; Tufa Labs follows on 70.24. Neither has added to that score overnight. Chen’s advantage is 5.32, and Tufa still has 11.65 points over xz. There is plenty of mountain between the leaders and the machines below.
The pressure is growing farther down. Grigoriy Zatravkin & co has climbed from 50.48 to 54.55, taking sixth. The last dance has improved from 51.51 to 54.52 and sits seventh, just 0.03 behind Grigoriy. Turducken’s cushion over sixth is now 1.47.

A leap out of the pack
Then there is infinity. A jump from 31.24 to 53.12 carried the team from 593rd to sixth in one board reading overnight. Grigoriy and the last dance have since moved ahead, leaving infinity eighth—but still inside the top ten after starting the night hundreds of places away.
Md Boktiar Mahbub Murad reaches 47.29 and eleventh; The ARChitects rises to 47.19 and twelfth. The gold cutoff is now 41.73 at twentieth. The two strongholds may be standing still, but the field beneath them is anything but settled.
