DeepSeekMath-V2 98.3% Dropped

Models write full proofs for the 12 problems of the December 2024 William Lowell Putnam competition. Proofs are graded out of 120 points.

This is a one-time competition exam, not a maintained benchmark. DeepSeekMath-V2 reports 118 of 120 points, given as 98.3%.

DeepSeekMath-V2 leads with 98.3%

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 best score passed 85% in Nov 2025

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

One system card reports it

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.
