FROM THE ARCHIVE: We asked Scott Wu (@ScottWu46) whether an AI would take gold at the International Mathematical Olympiad this year. “I’d be surprised if it doesn’t… our internal bet is that the AI will win.” Yesterday that prediction landed. OpenAI researchers say an experimental reasoning model sat the 2025 IMO under full exam conditions; two 4.5-hour sessions, no internet, natural-language proofs, and solved 5 of 6 problems, scoring 35/42 points, enough for a gold medal.
