[Linkpost] “GDM also claims IMO gold medal” by Yair Halberstadt


Listen Later

This is a link post.

Google DeepMind announces that they've also achieved a gold medal in the IMO.

They've exactly matched OpenAI, getting perfect scores for the first 5 questions and flunking the 6th.

They're using what sounds like an experimental general version of Gemini which they're then fine tuning for IMO rather than a maths specific model.

Their solutions were checked by the IMO (unlike OpenAI) and look much more like a neat little mathematics proof instead of the raw scratchpad that OpenAI turned in.
