Chinese AI goes next level in geometry at a top US maths Olympiad

Researchers say the system not only outperforms American competitors in solving problems, it can tackle an even tougher challenge. — SCMP

A Chinese AI system has outperformed its US competitors in solving geometry problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) level, taking less than half the time and using simpler computational resources, according to its developers.

Unlike existing models confined to problem-solving, the Chinese system can also generate mathematical problems – three of which appeared in a Chinese national team qualifying exam and a top Olympiad in the United States in 2024.
