Results: https://github.com/aw31/openai-imo-2025-proofs/ This capability was achieved not via task-specific methodology, but by breaking new ground in general-purpose reinforcement learning and test-time compute scaling (e.g. let the model "think longer"), which will improve future ChatGPT models as well.

The model solves these problems without tools like coding or access to the internet—it just uses natural language. What's interesting is that the grammar this model uses is completely alien, over-optimizing for density of information.
