Gemini AI just won a gold medal in a math Olympiad

Google has announced that an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think achieved gold-medal level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2025 by solving five out of six problems perfectly.

The International Mathematical Olympiad, established in 1959, is an annual competition for pre-university mathematicians. Participating countries send six elite students to solve six complex problems across algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. Medals are awarded to the top half of contestants, with approximately 8% earning gold medals.

During the IMO 2025, which concluded last week, an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think secured 35 points, achieving a gold-medal equivalent performance. This iteration of Gemini Deep Think was specifically trained using novel reinforcement learning techniques. These techniques enable the model to leverage more multi-step reasoning, problem-solving, and theorem-proving data. Additionally, Google provided Gemini with a curated corpus of high-quality solutions to mathematics problems and integrated general hints and tips on approaching IMO problems into its instructions.

In contrast to previous efforts, this advanced Gemini Deep Think operated entirely in natural language. It generated rigorous mathematical proofs directly from the official problem descriptions within the 4.5-hour competition time limit. This marks a progression from Google DeepMind‘s 2024 performance at the IMO, where AlphaGeometry and AlphaProof achieved a silver medal by solving four out of six problems and scoring 28 points. However, those systems required problems to be translated into domain-specific languages and utilized 2-3 days of computation.

Deep Think is characterized as an “enhanced reasoning mode” that incorporates “latest research techniques,” including parallel thinking. This setup allows the model to simultaneously explore and combine multiple potential solutions before delivering a final answer, rather than following a single, linear line of reasoning. Google plans to release a version of this Deep Think model to a select group of trusted testers, including mathematicians. Following this testing phase, the model will subsequently become available through Google AI Ultra.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Premium Domain Name?   A premium domain name is the digital equivalent of prime real estate. It’s a short, catchy, and highly desirable web address that can significantly boost your brand's impact. These exclusive domains are already owned but available for purchase, offering you a shortcut to a powerful online presence. Why Choose a Premium Domain? Instant Brand Boost: Premium domains are like instant credibility boosters. They command attention, inspire trust, and make your business look established from day one.

Outshine the Competition: In a crowded digital world, a premium domain is your secret weapon. Stand out, get noticed, and leave a lasting impression. Smart Investment: Premium domains often appreciate in value, just like a well-chosen piece of property. Own a piece of the digital world that could pay dividends. What Sets Premium Domains Apart?   Unlike ordinary domain names, premium domains are carefully crafted to be exceptional. They are shorter, more memorable, and often include valuable keywords. Plus, they often come with a built-in advantage: established online presence and search engine visibility. How Much Does a Premium Domain Cost?   The price tag for a premium domain depends on its desirability. While they cost more than standard domains, the investment can be game-changing. Think of it as an upfront cost for a long-term return. BrandBucket offers transparent pricing, so you know exactly what you're getting. Premium Domains: Worth the Investment?   Absolutely! A premium domain is more than just a website address; it's a strategic asset. By choosing the right premium domain, you're investing in your brand's future and setting yourself up for long-term success. What Are the Costs Associated with a Premium Domain?   While the initial purchase price of a premium domain is typically higher than a standard domain, the annual renewal fees are usually the same. Additionally, you may incur transfer fees if you decide to sell or move the domain to a different registrar. Can I Negotiate the Price of a Premium Domain? In some cases, it may be possible to negotiate the price of a premium domain. However, the success of negotiations depends on factors such as the domain's demand, the seller's willingness to negotiate, and the overall market conditions. At BrandBucket, we offer transparent, upfront pricing, but if you see a name that you like and wish to discuss price, please reach out to our sales team. How Do I Transfer a Premium Domain?   Transferring a premium domain involves a few steps, including unlocking the domain, obtaining an authorization code from the current registrar, and initiating the transfer with the new registrar. Many domain name marketplaces, including BrandBucket, offer assistance with the transfer process.
