Human teens beat AI at an international math competition

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For the first time ever, AI models achieved prestigious gold-level scores at the International Mathematics Olympiad, one of the world's premiere math competitions. Their success is an undeniable bragging right for the technology's biggest supporters. But as it stands, Google and OpenAI's most cutting-edge, experimental AI programs still can't beat an extremely smart teenager. It may seem ironic, but complex mathematics is still one of AI's biggest hurdles.
