FrontierMath Benchmark Reveals AI's Struggles with Complex Math

Epoch AI's new benchmark challenges AI models with problems requiring advanced reasoning, exposing significant limitations.

Epoch AI's FrontierMath benchmark tests AI models on intricate math problems, showing they solve less than 2% of them.
The benchmark includes problems from number theory, real analysis, and algebraic geometry, requiring extended reasoning chains.
Leading mathematicians, including Fields Medalists, acknowledge the problems' difficulty, suggesting AI-human collaboration for solutions.
Existing benchmarks like GSM-8k and MATH are criticized for data contamination, which FrontierMath aims to avoid with unique problems.
FrontierMath's results highlight the gap between current AI reasoning capabilities and human mathematical expertise.
