   Gemini with Deep Think officially achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO (deepmind.google)
Still no information on the amount of compute needed; would be interested to see a breakdown from Google or OpenAI on what it took to achieve this feat.

Something that was hotly debated in the thread with OpenAI's results:

"We also provided Gemini with access to a curated corpus of high-quality solutions to mathematics problems, and added some general hints and tips on how to approach IMO problems to its instructions."

it seems that the answer to whether or not a general model could perform such a feat is that the models were trained specifically on IMO problems, which is what a number of folks expected.

Doesn't diminish the result, but doesn't seem too different from classical ML techniques if quality of data in = quality of data out.

Not sure thats exactly what that means. Its already likely the case that these models contained IMO problems and solutions from pretraining. It's possible this means they were present in the system prompt or something similar.
