Google’s Cosmic Triumph: 🌌 Google DeepMind’s Gemini Deep Think clinched an official gold medal at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), solving 5 of 6 problems for 35/42 points, per their July 21, 2025, announcement. Unlike OpenAI’s self-graded claim, DeepMind’s win was certified by IMO graders, marking a historic leap in AI reasoning. Let’s explore this stellar feat shaking the $64B AI market.
A Galactic Math Breakthrough
Tested under IMO’s 4.5-hour rules with no tools, Gemini Deep Think tackled algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory in natural language, a shift from last year’s silver-winning AlphaProof, which needed Lean translations. IMO President Gregor Dolinar praised the “clear, precise” proofs, per DeepMind’s blog. The model’s “parallel thinking” and reinforcement learning with curated IMO solutions outshone OpenAI’s unofficial 35/42 score, graded by ex-medalists. X posts laud Google’s integrity for respecting IMO’s embargo, with some calling OpenAI’s early reveal “clout-chasing.” DeepMind plans to roll out Deep Think to mathematicians soon, eyeing Google AI Ultra subscribers. @GoogleDeepMinddeepmind.google
Why It Shines
Matching top human teens, Gemini’s feat follows Psyho’s AtCoder win over OpenAI’s AI, showing AI and humans in a tight race. UrviumAI asks: can AI’s reasoning spark new math discoveries, or will it stall on creativity?
