Details

  • Gemini Deep Think, an advanced AI system from Google DeepMind, earned a gold medal at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
  • The AI flawlessly solved five out of six problems, achieving a total score of 35 out of 42, with official grading by IMO coordinators.
  • Gemini completed rigorous proofs end-to-end in natural language within the 4.5-hour competition window, leveraging its Deep Think mode for parallel solution strategies.
  • This performance surpasses last year's silver medal earned by AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, which required translating to formal languages and several days to solve problems.
  • The system's solutions were commended by the IMO President for their clarity, precision, and accessibility.

Impact
