> I assume you are aware of the standard of Olympiad problems and that they are not particularly high.

Every time an LLM reaches a new benchmark there’s a scramble to downplay it and move the goalposts for what should be considered impressive.

The International Math Olympiad was used by many people as an example of something that would be too difficult for LLMs. It has been a topic of discussion for some time. The fact that an LLM has achieved this level of performance is very impressive.

You’re downplaying the difficulty of these problems. It’s called international because the best in the entire world are challenged by it.
