Reports an open weightsA model whose trained parameters are published for anyone to download and run — unlike API-only models you can access but never possess.Full definition → model clearing the IMO gold cutoff at about 140 times lower cost than a frontier model. This informs model choice where cost matters for reasoning-heavy work.
Key takeaways · AI-distilled
Cline had proofs graded blind on the 0 to 7 IMO scale by GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 5, with Gemini 3.1 Pro resolving disagreements; graders saw the problem, rubric, and reference solutions but not the model identity.
In Cline's runs, DeepSeek V4 Flash scored 30/42 for $0.12, while Kimi K3 scored 35/42 for about $5.13 and Claude Fable 5 scored 41/42 for about $17.20; GLM 5.2 scored 21 and Qwen 3.6 35B A3B 16.
Cline took each model's best score per problem across multiple attempts rather than Pass@k, and listed prices cover only the single best run, not the exploration spent fixing tool-calling issues.
Reward-hacking controls included telling models not to use the internet, exposing only a submit-solution tool, giving no prior context windowThe maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.Full definition → like Lean artifacts, and checking traces for browser use.
