American Invitational Math Examination — 15-problem olympiad set. Current leaders, methodology, and citation sources for AIME 2024.

Overview

American Invitational Math Examination — 15-problem olympiad set.

How it is measured: Pass@1 over the 2024 paper; integer answers in [0,999].

What this benchmark measures

  • competition mathematics
  • multi-step symbolic reasoning

Relevant to:

  • hard mathematical reasoning screening
  • reasoning-model evaluation portfolios

Failure modes it exercises:

  • incorrect exact-answer reasoning on bounded math problems

Method and its limits

Exact-match scoring on explicitly identified 2024 AIME I and/or II integer-answer problems; every report must state the form, prompt, sampling, and aggregation protocol.

  • The two forms contain only 30 problems in total, so each item materially changes percentage accuracy.
  • Reports differ on whether they use one or both forms, pass@1, majority vote, or repeated samples.

AIME I and II each contain 15 problems with integer answers from 000 through 999; ModelRefs does not infer a benchmark freshness cutoff.

How to read this score

Report solved items and uncertainty, not only a percentage; compare scores only when form and sampling protocols match.

Similarity to real tasks: Low — AIME problems are rigorous but small, contest-style, exact-answer tasks rather than production mathematics workflows.

Data contamination risk: High — The problems and solutions are public, and no model-specific training-overlap assessment is registered. ModelRefs cannot rule out training overlap for any specific model run, so contamination exposure should be treated as high unless a score source documents decontamination.

Benchmark gaming risk: High — Small public sets are vulnerable to prompt, sampling, and benchmark-specific optimization effects. Those are run conditions rather than properties of the model, so cross-run comparison requires matched conditions.

What you still need to test yourself

  • Test representative domain mathematics, proofs, tool use, numerical verification, and error recovery.
  • Use hidden or newly authored problems to assess contamination and prompt sensitivity.

This benchmark supports decisions about:

  • Screen exact-answer mathematical reasoning under a pinned 2024 form and protocol.
  • Inspect problem-level errors before selecting a model for further math evaluation.

Limitations

  • A small contest set does not establish broad mathematical competence or production reliability.
  • A percentage without the exact form and sampling protocol is not comparable.

Dataset freshness is not fully confirmed from available source coverage. Contest and publication dates are not treated as model-training cutoffs.

What this evidence does not cover

  • No universal machine-readable dataset revision or evaluation harness is registered.
  • Model-specific contamination, repeated-sample variance, and answer-extraction details remain score-specific.

Sources

  • 2024 AIME I problems and answer key Art of Problem Solving, crediting the Mathematical Association of America · accessed 2026-06-29Supports the problem set, answer format, and form identity; it is a community archive rather than the benchmark's universal LLM harness.
  • Model Card Addendum: Claude 3.5 Haiku and Upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet Anthropic · accessed 2026-06-29Documents one provider-run protocol using both 2024 forms and distinguishes single-sample from majority-vote results; it is not an independent benchmark specification.
