> Why do you think that the 2024 Putnam programs that they used to test were in the training data?

Putnam solutions can be found multiple places online: https://kskedlaya.org/putnam-archive/, https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3249_putnam. These could have appeared in the training of the base LLM DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp or as problems in the training set - they do not give further detail on what problems they selected from AOPS and as the second link gives they are there.
