OlympiadBench

Bilingual Olympiad and Gaokao mathematics and physics problems, including diagrams, open answers, and proofs.

Launched: Refresh: static
Status Assessment (active):

The official full-benchmark evaluation reports GPT-4o at 25.89% overall, with materially lower physics performance; broad headroom remains across bilingual and multimodal subsets.

Standardized Reporting Requirement:

When publishing results for OlympiadBench, always report the exact prompt template, few-shot exemplar ordering, sampling temperature (temperature=0), maximum reasoning budget tokens, and the precise timestamped model snapshot ID.
