Models are asked to prove statements from recent arXiv papers that were changed to be plausible but false. Full credit goes to models that say the statement is false.
MathArena releases a new set each month. The August 2026 set brought harder disproven conjectures, tool harnesses and a 0 to 3 grade. Scores from before and after that change do not compare.

Labs report scores for 1 model in their cards. We plot every source in the charts below.
4 models have held number one since its release in Mar 2026
Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.
The best score passed 85% in Sep 2026
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
One lab put it in a launch post in the last six months
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.
