[ExI] OpenAI's experimental model achieved gold at the International Math Olympiad

[BillK]

It's a major milestone for AI models, but this level of reasoning
won't be available to the public anytime soon.

According to Wei, an unreleased model from OpenAI was able to solve
five out of six problems at one of the world's longest-standing and
prestigious math competitions, earning 35 out of 42 points total. The
International Math Olympiad (IMO) sees countries send up to six
students to solve extremely difficult algebra and pre-calculus
problems. These exercises are seemingly simple but usually require
some creativity to score the highest marks on each problem. For this
year's competition, only 67 of the 630 total contestants received gold
medals, or roughly 10 percent.
"We've obtained a model that can craft intricate, watertight arguments
at the level of human mathematicians," Wei wrote on X. Wei and Sam
Altman, CEO of OpenAI, both added that the company doesn't expect to
release anything with this level of math capability for several months.

Quite an achievement!
Though as AI models become more powerful, the companies will be slower
to release them to the public until they have made good use of their
abilities first.
