- The poster says IMO has been conclusively solved for the first time.
- Last year, the best results came from an unreleased Gemini Deep Think model and an experimental OpenAI model, both scoring 35/42.
- This year, three publicly available models reportedly achieved a perfect score, including one soon-to-be open-weight model.
- The striking part is the cost: the solution was reportedly done for only $10–$50.
