Apr 8, 2025 bullish

Prediction Held up

Scott Wu predicts AI will win IMO gold in 2025 or 2026

“I think it's probably gonna happen this year. And if not this year, then next year.”

Scott Wu Apr 8, 2025 ▶ 14:26 Is AI UNDERVALUED? | Scott Wu on TBPN April 3rd

Jul 26, 2025

Assertion Partly supported

DeepMind Waited for Marketing Approval While OpenAI Scooped IMO Result

“DeepMind got a gold medal at the IMO on Friday afternoon, but they had to wait for marketing to approve the tweet until Monday. OpenAI shared theirs first at one a.m. On Saturday and stole the spotlight.”

John Coogan Jul 26, 2025 ▶ 16:51 Weekly Recap: Casey Neistat, OpenAI Cracks Math, The Future of ChatGPT, Apple x F1, Intel Layoffs

Jul 26, 2025 neutral

Assertion Contradicted

Coogan: IMO Rules Require AI Models to Be Open Source for Official Medals

“They don't, they put the questions out and anyone can go and try and do them, but to actually be awarded a goal for an AI, they said it has to be an open source model.”

John Coogan Jul 26, 2025 ▶ 5:23 Weekly Recap: Casey Neistat, OpenAI Cracks Math, The Future of ChatGPT, Apple x F1, Intel Layoffs

Jul 26, 2025 neutral

Assertion Supported

Coogan: Google Used Lean Proof Verifier While OpenAI Used Text-Based LLMs for IMO

“Using this program called Lean that is a formal math proof verifier, and there's rumors that Google's building their system to leverage that a lot. OpenAI apparently went way, way down just the text-based LLM reasoning path and had a lot of success there.”
