Alphabet's Google and OpenAI AI models won gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), marking a significant breakthrough in AI math capabilities.

Detailed Explanation:

Alphabet's Google and OpenAI AI models won gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), marking a significant breakthrough in AI math capabilities.

This is the first time AI systems crossed the gold-medal scoring threshold at the IMO, a prestigious global competition for high-school students.

Both AI models solved 5 out of 6 problems using general-purpose reasoning models that interpret mathematical concepts in natural language, unlike previous AI approaches.

OpenAI's model used a new experimental approach involving massively scaling up test-time compute, allowing the AI to think longer and use parallel processing to explore multiple lines of reasoning simultaneously.

OpenAI described this as a very expensive computational process.

Google's model, called Gemini Deep Think, operated entirely in natural language and solved problems within the official 4.5-hour time limit.
