OpenAI's Unreleased AI Achieves Gold Medal-Level Math Olympiad Performance

Intelligence: OpenAI has announced that one of its experimental AI models has reached "gold medal-level performance" at the prestigious International Math Olympiad (IMO), marking a significant breakthrough in AI’s ability to solve creative and complex mathematical problems.

• OpenAI researcher Alexander Wei revealed that their unreleased AI model solved five out of six extremely challenging math problems at the IMO, earning an impressive 35 out of 42 points.

• The IMO is a renowned competition requiring creative and advanced problem-solving, with only about 10% of contestants worldwide earning gold medals.

• Traditionally, AI struggles with tasks that demand high-level reasoning and creativity, but this new model demonstrates human-like mathematical argumentation.

• Despite the achievement, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman and Wei confirmed that this level of AI performance won’t be available to the public for several months. The upcoming GPT-5, while improved, will not reach this capability.

• OpenAI cites safety and research considerations as reasons for the delayed release of such advanced mathematical reasoning in public models.

Adobe Debuts Enhanced Firefly Video Model with Advanced Controls and AI Tools

Intelligence: Adobe has launched major upgrades to its Firefly Video Model, introducing improved motion fidelity, expanded AI partner models, and new creative tools that give users greater control and flexibility in video production.

• Firefly’s updated video model now generates videos with smoother, more lifelike motion, excelling at dynamic landscapes, animal motion, weather effects, and both 2D/3D animation.

• Adobe has integrated new AI partner models across image, video, and audio, such as Runway Gen-4, Google Veo3 with Audio, Topaz Labs upscalers, Moonvalley’s Marey, Luma AI’s Ray 2, and Pika 2.2—allowing creators to choose the best tool for each project.

• Users now have detailed video composition controls, such as selecting aspect ratios (vertical, horizontal, square) and applying presets for visual styles like claymation or anime.

• Innovative tools like Composition Reference, Style Presets, and Keyframe Cropping streamline workflows, maintain visual consistency, and offer unprecedented creative precision.

• Firefly users can layer in custom, AI-generated sound effects or use the new Text to Avatar (beta) feature to quickly turn scripts into videos led by a virtual presenter.

• The new “Enhance Prompt” function helps users refine their text prompts for faster, more accurate results, removing ambiguity and optimizing creative direction.
