- The image shows a benchmark-style report claiming Claude Opus 5 achieved a perfect 42/42 on the 2026 IMO.
- According to the report, the model solved all six problems and produced four independent solutions per problem.
- The evaluation was done with three frontier-model judges; a solution counted only when all three agreed it was correct.
- The report says the score corresponds to gold-medal performance, well above the 2026 gold cutoff of 29/42.
- The screenshot also notes the run used no agent harness or tools, a 256,000-token output limit, and adaptive thinking at max effort; one problem required resampling after hitting the output limit.
