Innovative artificial intelligence systems from Google demonstrate impressive results in solving Olympiad problems in mathematics, opening new horizons in the development of generative AI and approaching human cognitive abilities.
Breakthrough in AI
New achievements of Google
The Alphabet company, which owns Google, presented two innovative artificial intelligence systems that demonstrated a significant step forward in solving complex mathematical problems. This achievement is considered a key direction in the development of generative AI, as reported by Reuters.
Challenges for modern AI models
Modern models of artificial intelligence, which are based on statistical prediction of the next word, face difficulties when working with abstract mathematics. This field requires higher cognitive abilities similar to human thinking, which poses a serious challenge to existing technologies.
Impressive results from DeepMind
DeepMind, Alphabet's AI development division, has released results demonstrating the ability of new models AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 to successfully solve four of the six problems of the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad. This prestigious competition for schoolchildren is considered one of the most difficult mathematical tests.
Time frame and efficiency
In its blog, Google noted that one task was solved in minutes, while others took up to three days. Although this exceeds the time limits of the Olympics, these results are the best for AI systems to date.
An innovative approach to creating AlphaProof
The company talked about the creation of AlphaProof, a logic-oriented system. The system is the result of combining a version of Gemini, the language model behind the chatbot of the same name, with AlphaZero, another AI system that has previously beaten humans at board games like chess and Go.
Impressive achievements of AI systems
AlphaProof successfully solved three problems, including the most difficult, which only five could solve from more than 600 Olympiad participants. The AlphaGeometry 2 system also demonstrated its abilities by solving another mathematical problem.
Competition in the field of AI
In parallel with the developments of Google, the OpenAI company with the support of Microsoft is working on a new technology of artificial intelligence under the code called Strawberry. This innovation is aimed at improving AI's ability to reason and analyze.

Wow, this is just amazing! 🤯 Google impresses again. Their AI-systems AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 solved Olympiad problems in mathematics. This is a breakthrough in the development of AI, isn't it?
Isabella
Yes, Oleksandr! This is really impressive. Especially the fact that AlphaProof solved the most difficult problem, which was solved by only 5 out of 600 participants. This shows how powerful these systems are becoming. I wonder how this will affect the future of education and scientific research? 🤔
Hans
Isabella, you are right about the impact on education. Imagine how such systems could help students learn complex math concepts. But there is another side of the coin - will the need for mathematicians disappear? 🧮
Sophie
Hans, I think there will always be a need for people who are mathematicians. AI can be a great tool, but human creativity and intuition are indispensable. By the way, I was impressed that Google combined Gemini with AlphaZero to create AlphaProof. It shows how different fields of AI can work together to reach new heights. 🚀
Vittorio
I see that everyone is excited about this AI. But let's be realistic. These machines simply process data faster than us. They do not understand mathematics, do not feel its beauty. And in general, why do we need an AI that solves Olympic problems? Will it solve the real problems of humanity?
Pierre
Vittorio, I understand your skepticism, but I disagree. These achievements are not just about solving problems. It's about developing AI's ability to think logically and solve complex problems. Imagine how it can be applied in medicine, engineering or climatology! 🌍
Marta
Pierre is right! And let's not forget about the competition - OpenAI is also working on a similar technology called Strawberry. This race of innovation can bring many benefits. As for real problems, such breakthroughs help to solve them. 💡
Oleksandr
Agree with all! It is especially interesting how these technologies can change education. Imagine a personalized AI tutor that adapts to each student's learning pace. And regarding Vittorio's remark - yes, machines do not feel the beauty of mathematics, but they can help us, humans, understand and appreciate it better. The future is exciting! 🚀📚
