Kind of disappointing that neither provider shows the unsuccessful attack on problem 6.

They don't show any reasoning traces at all, just the final proofs. We must assume the traces are pretty huge, since at least Google makes it clear that they are heavily relying on inference compute:

> We achieved this year’s result using an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think – an enhanced reasoning mode for complex problems that incorporates some of our latest research techniques, including parallel thinking. This setup enables the model to simultaneously explore and combine multiple possible solutions before giving a final answer, rather than pursuing a single, linear chain of thought. [...] We will be making a version of this Deep Think model available to a set of trusted testers, including mathematicians, before rolling it out to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
