You degraded this thread badly by posting so many comments like this.
For those following along but without math specific experience: consider whether your average CS professor could solve a top competitive programming question. Not Leetcode hard, Codeforces hard.
And 1% here are those IMO/IOI winners who think everyone is just like them. I grew up with them and to you, my friends, I say: this is the reason why AI would not take over the world (and might even not be that useful for real world tasks), even if it wins every damn contest out there.
Every time an LLM reaches a new benchmark there’s a scramble to downplay it and move the goalposts for what should be considered impressive.
The International Math Olympiad was used by many people as an example of something that would be too difficult for LLMs. It has been a topic of discussion for some time. The fact that an LLM has achieved this level of performance is very impressive.
You’re downplaying the difficulty of these problems. It’s called international because the best in the entire world are challenged by it.
Here's an example problem 5:
Let a1,a2,…,an be distinct positive integers and let M=max1≤i<j≤n.
Find the maximum number of pairs (i,j) with 1≤i<j≤n for which (ai +aj )(aj −ai )=M.
