Google DeepMind makes AI history with gold medal win at world’s toughest math competition


Google DeepMind's Gemini AI won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad by solving complex math problems using natural language, marking a breakthrough in AI reasoning and human-level performance.

“Official results are in — Gemini achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad!” Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, wrote on social media platform X Monday morning. “Our model operated end-to-end in natural language, producing rigorous mathematical proofs directly from the official problem descriptions,” Hassabis explained in a follow-up post on the social media site X, emphasizing that the system completed its work within the competition’s standard 4.5-hour time limit. Google DeepMind plans to return to next year’s competition “ in search of a perfect score.” The company believes AI systems combining natural language fluency with rigorous reasoning “will become invaluable tools for mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and researchers, helping us advance human knowledge on the path to AGI.”
