The Second Progress Prize

The Second Progress Prize opened in October 2024.

  • $2.1 million prize pool
  • This second AIMO Progress Prize competition has 110 math problems covering algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory.
  • The difficulty has been increased from the first competition, and the problems are now around the National Olympiad level.
  • The problems have also been designed to be 'AI hard' in terms of the mathematical reasoning required, which was tested against current open LLMs' capabilities.

The First Progress Prize

The first progress prize included problems at intermediate-level high school mathematics competitions, but which did not reach IMO difficulty. It was open from 1 April to 27 June 2024, with the prizes distributed to five teams in July 2024 at the 65th IMO in Bath, UK.

  • $1.048 million prize pool
  • The Kaggle private leaderboard determined the distribution of $253,952 among the top five teams, based on minimum performance criteria.
  • Remainder of the pool rolled over to the second progress prize pool.
  • Eligibility for prizes required the open publication of the teams' code, methodology, data, and model parameters.
