Competition mathematics

OTIS Mock AIME 2024-2025 · Separate result

Competition problems with model-extracted answers checked against an exact key. Earlier grading procedures are excluded.

DeepSeek Reasoner 87.8*% Approx. 95% interval: 79.7–95.9% · Older result

Bars show reported task scores. Whiskers are approximate 95% intervals where standard errors are available. Different reasoning budgets are not equal-cost tests. Missing results are never zero.
