DeepSeekMath-V2 83.3% leads since Nov 2025 Fading

Models write full proofs for the six problems of the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad. Graders score proofs out of 42 points, mapped to medal cutoffs.

This is a one-time competition exam, not a maintained benchmark.

4 models share the top score of 83.3% among models released by Jun 2026

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in Jun 2026, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

  1. 1 DeepSeekMath-V2 83.3%
  2. 2 Seed2.0 Pro 83.3%
  3. 3 Nemotron-Cascade 2 30B-A3B 83.3%
  4. 4 Nemotron 3 Ultra 83.3%
  5. 5 Seed2.1 Pro 65.2%

The benchmark's own leaderboard has 7 entries, 6 of them models we track. We plot every source in the charts below.

2 models have held number one since its release in Jul 2025

Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release. We draw one row each for the benchmark’s own leaderboard and what labs claim in their cards.

7 system cards report it, from 4 labs

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
