OpenAI’s IMO Team on Why Models Are Finally Solving Elite-Level Math


Listen Later

In just two months, a scrappy three-person team at OpenAI sprinted to fulfill what the entire AI field has been chasing for years—gold-level performance on the International Mathematical Olympiad problems. Alex Wei, Sheryl Hsu and Noam Brown discuss their unique approach using general-purpose reinforcement learning techniques on hard-to-verify tasks rather than formal verification tools. The model showed surprising self-awareness by admitting it couldn’t solve problem six, and revealed the humbling gap between solving competition problems and genuine mathematical research breakthroughs.
