Yandex Cup 2025 – international programming competition

Yandex is running an international programming championship with two English-language tracks: Machine Learning and Algorithms.
Each track has a $18,000 prize pool, and there will be a final in Istanbul for the top participants. The problems are apparently designed by Yandex engineers and based on real-world challenges.
Has anyone here tried it before? How do the problems compare to other competitions like Kaggle or Codeforces?

Problems from engineers based on real challenges are more applied — less number theory, more modeling and data work, sounds interesting overall
Yeah, seems like a decent skills check since the focus is more on applying and maybe optimizing existing algorithms rather than inventing something totally new, also a few days in Istanbul could be a nice bonus
Basically looks like a test of handling imperfect conditions — feels closer to real work than a coding olympiad
And Istanbul of course, not bad — a chance to travel a bit too

> During the qualification stage, the proctoring system must record the entire process of completing the problems. The recording must include video materials showing the participant, their computer screen, and the surrounding area.
> After completing the qualification stage, the participant must upload the recording to a convenient platform (for example, cloud storage or YouTube).
