HiddenMath-Hard

Only in system cards

Models solve the harder part of an expert-written, never-published set of AIME and AMC style competition problems.

In-house Google DeepMind set. The Gemini 2.5 report uses this harder version instead of full HiddenMath.

Gemini 2.5 Pro leads with 80.5%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Scores over time

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

2 system cards report it, from 1 lab

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
