Artificial Intelligence Achieves Its First Perfect Score at the International Mathematical Olympiad (2026 Shanghai Competition)
At the 2026 International Mathematical Olympiad in Shanghai, multiple AI models achieved a perfect score—solving all six problems correctly—for the first time in history. AI algorithms that have evolved from language processing to rigorous "machine reasoning" now stand shoulder to shoulder with the top one percent of human mathematicians, marking a new stage in the automation of scientific research.
