we achieved gold medal level performance on the 2025 IMO competition with a general-purpose reasoning system! to emphasize, this is an LLM doing math and not a specific formal math system; it is part of our main push towards general intelligence.
when we first started openai, this was a dream but not one that felt very realistic to us; it is a significant marker of how far AI has come over the past decade.
we are releasing GPT-5 soon but want to set accurate expectations: this is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques we will use in future models. we think you will love GPT-5, but we don't plan to release a model with IMO gold level of capability for many months.
It's going to be insane when we can prompt our own virtual worlds like this and explore them.
Imagine adding other characters you can talk to with LLMs + voice models!
