You don't have to win 1st place to win the AI Exponential League.

The program is built to reward consistency - and the top spot on the season leaderboard pays $2,500.

Here's how it works:
✅ Every challenge has its own prizes
✅ Every challenge you enter adds points to your season ranking
✅ The top 10 at season end get bonus payouts on top of their challenge winnings
✅ Total bonus pool: $5,000 across the top 10 finishers

A member who finishes 2nd, 3rd, or even places lower across multiple challenges can outearn someone who wins one challenge and stops competing. Consistency adds up.

The season runs through July 31, 2026. There's still time to climb.

Check the leaderboard, enter the next challenge, keep building your rating.

Some of the best improvements happen behind the scenes - and this one's been in the works for a while.

We've rebuilt the Marathon Match system from the ground up: faster results, parallel processing, and automated system testing. Before we run real matches on it, we want the community's help making sure it's ready.

Here's how it works:
🔹 Compete in the Marathon Match 2026 Beta Test - run through the new system like a real match, using the provided submissions for test
https://www.topcoder.com/challenges/3188f834-cc35-4a49-b9ce-1d7f49be5e6d?tab=details

🔹 Report anything you find in the Beta Bug Hunt - bugs, crashes, security gaps
https://www.topcoder.com/challenges/ccbe8751-dda5-413e-ab08-a1906195d3a3?tab=details

Your feedback shapes how the new system performs.

AI doesn't replace critical thinking.

It rewards it.

We've watched how people approach AI work across our challenges over the last year. The pattern is consistent.

The strongest AI work doesn't come from prompting a model and using what it returns.

It comes from people who:
✅ Research the problem before touching a model
✅ Structure their inputs deliberately - context, constraints, edge cases
✅ Iterate on the output, refining rather than accepting it
✅ Bring judgment about what "good" looks like for this specific problem

The skill isn't in operating the AI. It's in shaping the work around it.

The tools keep getting better. The craft of using them well becomes more valuable, not less.

If you're building with AI - this is where the real skill development happens.

If you're burning through tokens faster than expected, the cause is usually the same:

Too many iterations, too small.

Asking the AI to make one tiny change, testing, asking for another tiny change, testing again - each iteration costs a full call. Tokens add up fast.

How to do more per call:
→ Give the AI the full context and full goal upfront
→ Ask for multiple changes or alternatives in one request
→ Use a planning step before the build step
→ Run small tests locally, not against the API

The model you're using matters less than how you're using it.

Structured prompts cost less and produce better work.

It’s easy to forget what makes a global community so powerful.

It’s not just about skills.

It’s not just about code.

It’s the people.
The stories.
The friendships.

The fact that, across 190+ countries, thousands of members still feel like part of something bigger.

2 million members, one community.

Powering innovation and ex*****on for enterprises worldwide.

This video is short - but it captures the heartbeat of Topcoder.
➤ "Topcoder is community strong."

Thank you to every member who makes this more than just a platform.

You make it feel like home.❤️

70% of sales work isn't selling.

An AI-native Go to Market platform changes that - and we're building the foundation.

This is the first build phase of the Innovation Builders Series, our partnership with Innocentive taking high-value AI agent ideas from concept to commercialization.

What's being built:
✅ A unified data model for GTM (accounts, contacts, signals, opportunities)
✅ Real agent orchestration - LLM calls, tool use, traceability
✅ One vertical slice built deep - prospect, end to end
✅ A working external integration
✅ Architecture the next team can build on in additional phases

This is your chance to architect something real.

A quick share with our community.

Topcoder has been recognized by Human Cloud as one of just 11 workforce solutions in the world to earn the Top 1% Global badge for Winter 2026.

Human Cloud rankings are merit-based - they evaluate workforce solutions on innovation, delivery, and talent management. This is a cross-category recognition, measured against every type of workforce solution out there.

This badge isn't really about Topcoder as a company. It's about the work the community does. The challenges you win. The submissions you ship. The standards you hold each other to. None of this exists without you.

So - thank you. To everyone who shows up, solves hard problems, and builds the kind of work that gets noticed. 💖

Eighteen years at Topcoder.

Competitor. Finalist. Teammate. Leader.

Sathya Jayabal has been all four - and that perspective shapes everything she touches today.

She started in the UX track, focusing on wireframing. For nearly a decade she competed actively, sharpening her design thinking along the way.
Multiple-time TCO trip winner.

She later shifted into the QA track and kept competing. Eventually, she joined the team as a QA for the platform itself - finally seeing from the inside what it takes to build the community she'd been part of for years.

Today, Sathya is QA Lead and Product Manager, bridging quality and product strategy to make sure what we ship is built right and actually delivers value.

Outside of work, she's happiest outdoors. Saturday mornings often start on the trekking trails around Bangalore, and she travels often with her family - drawn to new cultures and cuisines. Last year she took a solo trip to Bhutan. When she's winding down, you'll find her with a good book in hand.

Most people join Topcoder to build for the community.

Sathya joined the community first - and stayed to build it.
