US EditionDeepMind's Gemini Earns Official IMO Gold as OpenAI Awaits Confirmation
AUSTRALIA, JUL 22 – OpenAI's AI model solved five of six problems to earn 35 out of 42 points, joining just 11% of human participants who achieve gold at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
- OpenAI announced on July 19, 2025, that its experimental model achieved gold medal performance at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad .
- The model’s success follows years of AI advancement with general-purpose reasoning approaches rather than highly specialized domain models for math problems.
- The model successfully solved five out of six IMO problems, scoring 35 out of 42 points within the 4.5-hour time limit, which corresponds to a gold medal performance ranking it within the highest tier of participants globally.
- OpenAI described the model as an "experimental reasoning LLM" built on new research techniques, and cautioned it will not release this model for many months despite announcing GPT-5 soon.
- This milestone suggests scalable general-purpose AI can rival top human mathematicians and may accelerate AI contributions to scientific discovery in the future.

Google, OpenAI models achieve unprecedented results at math competition
An AI model from Google reached gold-level scores at an international mathematical competition in Australia that ended Sunday, though it still didn’t beat some human competitors who represent the world’s elite math talent younger than 20 years old. The gold marks — given to roughly the top 10% of student contestants — were the highest the AI models have ever scored, indicating the technology is catching up to human genius. OpenAI also said a few…
Google took part in the race that solved five out of six problems, a result that was not trivial considering that only 10% of the human competitors got a gold medal

Human teens beat AI at an international math competition
For the first time ever, AI models achieved prestigious gold-level scores at the International Mathematics Olympiad, one of the world’s premiere math competitions. Their success is an undeniable bragging right for the technology’s biggest supporters. But as it stands, Google and OpenAI’s most cutting-edge, experimental AI programs still can’t beat an extremely smart teenager. It may seem ironic, but complex mathematics is still one of AI’s bigge…
In order to demonstrate their skills, AI providers presented their software with the same tasks as the international mathematics Olympics. ChatGPT manufacturer OpenAI, however, made an early start.
