Humans Still Outperform AI At Math Olympiad, But Machines Show Progress

Humans bested generative AI models from Google and OpenAI at an international math competition. While the AI programs achieved gold-level scores for the first time, they did not score full marks like five human participants at the International Mathematical Olympiad. Google’s Gemini chatbot solved five out of six problems, earning a gold medal score of 35 points. OpenAI’s reasoning model also scored 35 points. The AI models’ performance at the prestigious competition has sparked discussions about their rapid improvement. Organizers noted the exciting progress in AI’s mathematical capabilities but could not verify the extent of computing power or human involvement in the models’ performance. (Cbsnews)
