*Note: This is the second [AIMO Progress Prize](https://aimoprize.com/) competition. It builds upon the first [AIMO Progress Prize competition](https://www.kaggle.com/c/ai-mathematical-olympiad-prize), which was won in July 2024 by Project Numina. This second competition has an increased prize pool, a new dataset of problems, increased compute for participants and updated rules for using open-source LLMs.*

The ability to reason mathematically is a critical milestone for AI. Mathematical reasoning is the foundation for solving many complex problems, from engineering marvels to intricate financial models. However, current AI capabilities are limited in this area.

The AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO) Prize is a $10mn fund to spur the open development of AI models capable of performing as well as top human participants in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

This second AIMO Progress Prize competition has 110 math problems in algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. The difficulty has been increased from the first competition, and the problems are now around the National Olympiad level. The problems have also been designed to be 'AI hard' in terms of the mathematical reasoning required, which was tested against current open LLMs' capabilities. 


To address the challenge of train-test leakage, the competition uses novel math problems created by an international team of problem solvers. Using this transparent and fair evaluation framework, the competition will help to strengthen the benchmarks for assessing AI models' mathematical reasoning skills, without the risk of contamination from training data.
This latest AIMO Progress Prize competition offers an exciting opportunity to drive innovation in the field of AI for Math, while also fostering healthy competition and supporting open science. 

Join us as we work towards a future where AI models’ mathematical reasoning skills are accurately and reliably assessed, driving progress and innovation.
