OpenAI models proved superiority in mathematical tasks
For the first time, a large-scale testing of their capabilities was conducted on fresh mathematical olympiad problems, and the first part of the prestigious American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) became the platform for “competition”.
The testing included 15 problems, each of which was presented to AI models four times to obtain reliable results. The evaluation system was based on a color scheme: green meant successful solution in all four attempts, yellow – from one to three successful attempts, red – complete absence of correct solutions.
The results were unexpected. OpenAI models demonstrated significant superiority over competitors, including the acclaimed Chinese model DeepSeek R1. Particularly impressive results were shown by OpenAI’s o3-mini model, achieving 78.33% accuracy, although this is lower than the previously reported 87.3% on last year’s tests.
Interestingly, OpenAI’s o1 model even improved its performance compared to last year, increasing accuracy from 74.4% to 76.67%. Meanwhile, DeepSeek R1 showed a significant decrease in efficiency – from last year’s 79.8% to 65% on new problems. Even more dramatic was the performance drop of the distilled version R1-Qwen-14b – from 69.7% to 50%.
Special attention should be paid to the Claude 3.6 Sonnet model, which unexpectedly showed extremely low results, failing to solve practically any problem “out of the box”.
It’s important to note that later at least three problems from the testing were found to be publicly available on the internet, which could have affected the experiment’s purity. Nevertheless, the obtained results provide interesting food for thought about different AI models’ ability to generalize and their resistance to overfitting.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Qualcomm welcomes TSMC's $100 billion investmentTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC)'s $100 billion investment in expanding production in the United States is "great news," said Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. According to him, this contributes to the diversification of semiconductor manufacturing locations.
DuckDuckGo strengthens generative AI integrationThe privacy-focused search service DuckDuckGo continues to strengthen its position in the field of generative artificial intelligence. According to a blog post published on Thursday, March 6, 2025, the company announced the completion of beta testing for its chat interface, which is now officially called Duck.ai, abandoning the more cumbersome name DuckDuckGo AI Chat.
Digital scandal at Los Angeles TimesBillionaire and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, who introduced a new AI tool for generating opposing perspectives to opinion section materials, was unaware that the system created pro-KKK arguments less than 24 hours after launch — and even hours after the scandalous AI comments were removed from the publication's website. The incident created a huge obstacle for the Times, which seeks to bring back old subscribers and attract new ones through innovative technological solutions.
Google Shopping launches AI toolGoogle announced the launch of a new AI tool for the Shopping tab that will help users find clothing based on their verbal description. The announcement, made on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, also includes expanding the capabilities of augmented reality (AR) tools for cosmetics and virtual try-on.
"Cannot help with answers about elections and political figures": GeminiTechnology giant Google continues to limit the capabilities of its AI assistant Gemini in the area of political discourse, despite the fact that the company's main competitors, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, have already adapted their chatbots to discuss politically sensitive topics in recent months.
