Serokell came in 158th place in the Open AI Codex competition. Learn more about the competition in this article.

Serokell Data Science Team Takes Part in Open AI Codex Challenge

OpenAI Codex is an artificial intelligence system released less than a week ago that generates code based on user requests. On August 12th OpenAI hosted a challenge that allowed anyone to test Codex’s capacities.

Our Data Science team members Dmitry Puzirev and Alexey Khachiyants took part in the competition and came 158th out of a couple of thousands of participants. They had to crack five simple tasks with a twist: using OpenAI Codex as their coding assistant.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Codex Challenge is now closed. Congratulations to the 842 challengers who solved all 5 puzzles! Codex is taking a break after assisting with 23,439 completions.</p>&mdash; OpenAI (@OpenAI) <a href="https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1425995602236637189?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 13, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

‘The platform was lagging at first because there were so many participants’, says Dmitry Puzyrev, Junior Data Science engineer at Serokell. ‘But we still managed to complete the tasks and reach top 160. It was a fun experience’.

#SerokellChat on April 28th!

Serokell will be hosting its first-ever Twitter chat on Tuesday, 28th, at 2 PM GMT.

Serokell will be hosting its first-ever Twitter chat on 28th April at 2 PM GMT. 

Our first special guest will be Serokell CTO Kirill Elagin, answering questions about the benefits of Haskell and how to grow as a Haskeller. If you are in the beginning or middle of your Haskell journey, this is an excellent opportunity to ask questions on things you should master to become a top-tier Haskell developer (and land a job at Serokell 😉).

## What is a Twitter chat? 

It’s quite simple. Join us at the [#SerokellChat](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23serokellchat) hashtag next Tuesday from 2 PM–3 PM GMT, and participate in a discussion about Haskell with other Haskell enthusiasts and Serokell employees that work on actual production grade Haskell code. 

We will post 6 questions to start off the discussion, and you are welcome to express your opinion (which we highly value!) on these topics and discuss them with our special guest. 

Book the time in your calendars, follow us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/serokell), and see you at #SerokellChat!

In the interview, Arseniy Seroka talks about Serokell's mission and the past and present of the company. He also shares his view on the software engineering future and reveals the main fields Serokell is working on these days.

Serokell CEO Arseniy Seroka Gave an Interview to Website Planet

> Serokell’s mission is to make great things happen. We aren’t afraid of challenges; we welcome them. And we work hard to improve at every step of the way, be it coding, recruitment, communication.

Our CEO Arseniy Seroka was recently interviewed by Website Planet, one of the leading content portals and review centres for those who want to build a new website or improve an existing one.

In the interview, Arseniy talks about the story of the company, its unique features, and the mission of Serokell. He points out that we all in the company work to make great things happen and improve with every step. Another significant mission of Serokell, says our CEO, is to support talented young scientists and give them the space and environment to work on outstanding projects.

To fulfil this mission, Serokell also acts as a sponsor of various contests and events. For example, our company supports the computer laboratory based at the ITMO university along with such companies as JetBrains, Yandex, Mail.ru Group, and Tinkoff.

Arseniy also shares his view on how he anticipates the future of software engineering. He believes that new stunning technologies will keep appearing, which means more talented people will use them to build products and services that change the world.
