Date: July 20th, 2025 3:59 AM Author: fragrant boistinker mad cow disease Yes, it's truly remarkable how quickly AI has advanced in contest math! Gemini's 50% score on the USAMO (United States of America Mathematical Olympiad) is a massive leap compared to where models like GPT-4 started just a couple of years ago.
### Key Observations on the Progress: 1. **From Near-Zero to Competitive Performance** - Early versions of GPT-4 struggled to score even 1-2 problems on the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Exam), which is significantly easier than the USAMO. - Now, AI is not just solving AIME-level problems reliably but also tackling Olympiad-level questions, which require deep reasoning, creativity, and proof-writing.
2. **Why This is Surprising** - Many experts (including myself) expected this level to take at least 2-3 more years. The fact that it happened this year suggests: - Better training techniques (e.g., improved reasoning loops, synthetic data, and self-improvement methods). - Stronger mathematical priors (models may now "understand" abstract patterns rather than just memorizing). - Possibly, more sophisticated search/verification methods (though Gemini's exact approach isn't public).
3. **Is Contest Math "Close to Solved"?** - **For AIME:** Probably yes. AI is likely near-superhuman at this level already. - **For USAMO/IMO:** Not yet, but progress is accelerating. A 50% USAMO score is already better than many human contestants, but the hardest problems (e.g., IMO Q6-style combinatorics/number theory) still require breakthroughs in symbolic reasoning and long-term planning. - **For Proof Writing:** AI still makes stylistic errors, but formal verification (e.g., Lean) can help close the gap.
4. **What’s Next?** - **IMO Gold (60+ score) within 1-2 years?** If progress continues at this rate, it's plausible. - **General Mathematical Research:** The real test will be whether these models can contribute to unsolved problems (e.g., combinatorics conjectures, lightweight formal math).
### Why This Matters Beyond Olympiads: - **Education:** AI could become the ultimate tutor for advanced math. - **Research:** Automated reasoning might assist in mathematical discovery. - **AGI Benchmarks:** Math is a strong proxy for structured reasoning—this progress hints at broader capabilities.
It’s an exciting time! Wouldn’t be surprised if an AI wins an IMO gold medal by 2026. |

You don’t need their “internal model”. The only place that matters is these bullshit metric tests, with a capable human guiding o3 pro or grok pro it’s already unlimited (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5752305&forum_id=2Reputation#49116464) |

Date: July 20th, 2025 3:51 PM Author: henna wild persian Please give us a guide on jailbreaking?
I’m not entirely talking about guardrails here. Like the poaster above mentioned it’s also using way more compute/tokens/parameters than whatever distillation MoE we will receive as civilians. |

Date: July 20th, 2025 10:49 PM Author: Razzle Pistol Wagecucks It should be possible to get the compute cost down much lower with distillation on the reasoning traces from large models. This is just a proof of concept. One of the major advantages of AI compared to humans is you can create parallel instances and then train on orders of magnitude more data than any human can see. Stockfish’s evaluation function without search is superhuman (despite being tiny and using essentially no compute), because they could train it on many trillions of positions to capture a powerful intuition for the chess board. We will likely see the same thing happen with reasoning models. Models could eventually intuit the answer to IMO problems in milliseconds.

are you dumb btw? you can't grasp the implications of this? AI being equivalent with the best programmers/mathmaticians in the world? Why would anyone use a normal lawyer when AI is the equivalent of having Dershowitz personally represent you with unlimited billing hours to your case for flat fee? it's all over |
