Epoch AI presents Frontiermath: New yardstick for AI matters

Von WOM

In an exciting development in the world of artificial intelligence, the Non-Profit Research Organization Epoch Ai introduced a new benchmark tool called Frontiermath. This tool is aimed at large voice models (LLMS) and is intended to test their skills in the areas of logical thinking and mathematical problem solving.

The special thing about Frontiermath is the hundreds of specialist questions from mathematics that have never been published. These questions should offer a continuous way to monitor the progress of AI in complex mathematical thinking processes. The spectrum ranges from arithmetic problems in the number theory to real analyzes to abstract questions in algebraic geometry and category theory.

Development in cooperation with experts

EPOCH AI has emphasized that they worked together with over 60 mathematicians from leading institutions in developing this benchmark, including professors, authors of IMO issues and Fields medalists. The team is convinced that even the most advanced LLMs on this new benchmark could only achieve less than two percent score.

The organization emphasizes that existing benchmarks such as GSM8K and Math are inadequate because they are susceptible to data pollution and AI models tend to achieve excessively high scores. Frontiermath should solve these problems by introducing a number of unique, unpublished tasks that minimize the risk of data pollution. The problems provided are designed in such a way that they are "advice -free" - they can only be solved through conclusive, logical thinking, which makes random answers very unlikely.

The tasks developed as part of the research work are characterized by large numerical answers or complex mathematical objects as solutions. Without the necessary logical thinking, the likelihood of correctly advising is less than one percent. Epoch Ai takes the view that benchmarks should concentrate on creative problem solving to the real assessment of AI skills, which requires sustainable thinking over many steps. This corresponds to the consensus of many experts who consider the current benchmarks to be inadequate for a precise assessment of the skills of AI models.

To ensure that Frontiermath remains relevant and challenging, Epoch Ai is planning to continue to work with the mathematics and AI research community. The organization intends to carry out regular reviews in order to provide a standardized scale for progress and how the thinking skills improve over time and scaling.
