Google Deepmind Makes AI History With Gold Medal Win At World's Toughest Math Competition
Google, Monday, July 21st, 2025
Google DeepMind announced Monday that an advanced version of its Gemini artificial intelligence model has officially achieved gold medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad, solving five of six exceptionally difficult problems and earning recognition as the first AI system to receive official gold-level grading from competition organizers.
The victory advances the field of AI reasoning and puts Google ahead in the intensifying battle between tech giants building next-generation artificial intelligence. More importantly, it demonstrates that AI can now tackle complex mathematical problems using natural language understanding rather than requiring specialized programming languages.
'Official results are in - Gemini achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad!' Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, wrote on social media platform X Monday morning. 'An advanced version was able to solve 5 out of 6 problems. Incredible progress.'
