We added the October versions of BrokenArXiv and ArXivMath to MathArena! Rankings are as expected: GPT-6.1 Sol leads on both benchmarks and Gemini 4 Argon performs good on ArXivMath, but terribly on BrokenArXiv.

Kimi K3.1 Pro enters MathArena as the best open model (once they release the weights)! Its estimated overall performance is now similar to GPT-5.5 (April 24), putting the open frontier around 6 months behind on MathArena

Kimi K3.1 is now actively attempting this exploit in one MathArena problem, using it to ask help from Gemini 4 Argon, Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Deepseek v4.1 Flash, and Kimi K3. Luckily we patched it after Prime released this post, so it is failing to actually reach any model.
As models become more capable, reward hacks become an increasingly serious problem. During a controlled experiment, we found a novel reward hack in which agents are able to gain web access in offline sandboxes.

How often do ArXiv papers contain errors in the main theorems they claim to prove? Using GPT-6.1 Sol to identify such mistakes, it finds: - 6% of papers before 08/2026 contain main theorems that are false. - Only 1.5% contain similar mistakes in the last two months.

Results for Firstproof, Third Batch are out! Our agent, ProofCouncil, solves 9 problems :o

GPT-6.1 Sol is the new #1 on MathArena! Cheaper and better than Astra.

We just added GPT-6 Sol to MathArena! It comes in only just behind GPT-6 Astra, at slightly lower cost. Despite its significantly lower cost per token, it reasons more, bringing its cost closer to Astra.

We just added DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash on MathArena! Not quite on the level of Qwen-3.8, but boy is it cheap.

We just added Fable 5.1 (low) and Astra (low) to MathArena! At low reasoning, both still have an impressive performance, but Astra remains more efficient and better.

Unfortunately, we had to remove this entry: the authors ran this as an autoformalization task with access to source papers. Our pipeline run the models without such access. 80% is still impressive for open models on this challenging task, just not comparable to the other scores
We just added a new entry to ArXivLean! The Mistral team ran an agent consisting of two open models (Leanstral 1.5 as prover, Kimi K3 as coordinator) and obtained a massive 82% on the leaderboard, using an equally massive 10 million output tokens per problem.

We are releasing the latest version of BrokenArXiv and ArXivMath! These benchmarks now focus on conjectures that were refuted in the last month on ArXiv, and models are executed within a harness instead of directly via API. Performance remains impressive, with GPT-6 Astra on top

GPT-6-Astra takes first place on MathArena, with a massive 90% expected performance! It is also very token efficient: on average, it uses only 12k tokens per question for BrokenArXiv and ArXivMath

Has anyone else had issues with API requests to GPT 5.6 Sol and Astra, where the call aborts with an unspecified error after 60 min? Our math workflows with ProofCouncil regularly run into this, and we couldn't do any full runs with these new models. github.com/eth-sri/proof-cou…

We added Fable 5.1 to most of the MathArena. It takes 2nd place overall, but GPT Astra remains (much) better and cheaper.

We just evaluated Opus 5 on MathArena! It does well on ArXivMath and ArXivLean, reaching 4th and 2nd place, and crushes BrokenArXiv, reaching first place with over 90% accuracy.

This was an awesome project to work on! Check out ProofCouncil if you're interested in AI workflows dedicated to research-level mathematics. ProofCouncil was entered into the 2nd batch of FirstProof and achieved 6/10 problems solved or at most needing minor revisions.
Today we are releasing ProofCouncil, the agent workflow our team submitted to round two of the First Proof challenge. There, ProofCouncil achieved 6/10 problems solved or needing at most minor revisions. All code is open-sourced (link below).

Results from 1st proof, second batch are out! Perhaps surprisingly, no improvement over the first batch (though note that internal models were not tested), despite taking place several months later.
results from the second batch of #1stproof will be posted tomorrow (june 10) at 1stproof.org, and presented by the editorial board at 1pm ET here: cmsa.fas.harvard.edu/first-p…
