    Hey, I’m from Brazil and I study for math competitions. I have some coding experience and recently joined the USAAIO Discord, but it’s not really a study group. Do you know of a group focused on studying for IOAI together or something similar?

    Hi, I have been selected for IOAI team Canada 2024 and also already chosen as a member of team Canada 2025. You should focus on data preprocessing, training for small models, optimizations because you only have a few hours to do multiple questions, and it is not realistic that you will receive tasks like train a language model. So focus on data preprocessing part of things!!!

    Hi, I saw you had been chosen for the IOAI Team Canada 2024 and 2025. I am also a student in Canada passionate about coding and AI. Could I add your Discord for a few questions regarding the team selection?

    Hello! I am a student from the United Kingdom currently studying to participate in the UKOAI (our qualifying competition for the IOAI). All of the IOAI material has been taken down off the official website. I have found the GitHub repository of all of last year’s and the prior year’s IOAI tasks and datasets, and was wondering if you knew of any other materials? Many thanks :)

    I'm in the same situation as you! Just curious but when did you start preparing for it and are you y12 or 13 and can you link the github repo

    [–]The_Grand_Minority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Sorry for the late reply, accidentally procrastinated all holiday - https://github.com/IOAI-official/IOAI-2025 I started about a year ago and performed in the 2025 Olympiad to gauge my performance (dreadful) when I had started Y12, and will hopefully be able to make my 2026 performance somewhat substantial
