For the first time ever, AI models achieved prestigious gold-level scores at the International Mathematics Olympiad, one of the world’s premiere math competitions. But as it stands, Google and OpenAI’s most cutting-edge, experimental AI programs still can’t beat an extremely smart teenager. To an AI, an answer is just the most likely string of tokens. This time, however, they had some additional competition: a pair of experimental AI reasoning models from Google and OpenAI. Companies like Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft are all investing heavily in data center projects to support their AI projects—all of which need power sources.
