Search+Verifier highlights advances in neurosymbolic AI during the 2024 Math Olympics. Google DeepMind's combination of AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 solved four out of six IMO problems, with AlphaProof being a finetuned Gemini model using an AlphaZero approach, and AlphaGeometry 2 trained on significantly more synthetic data with a novel knowledge-sharing mechanism. Despite impressive results, human judges noted the AI required much longer time than human competitors.

Meanwhile, Meta AI released Llama 3.1 with a 405B parameter model and smaller variants, and Mistral AI launched Mistral Large 2 with 123B parameters and 128k context windows, outperforming Llama 3.1 on coding tasks and multilingual benchmarks. This marks significant progress in AI mathematical reasoning, model scaling, and multilingual capabilities.
