History

Epoch AI introduced FrontierMath in 2024 to evaluate advanced mathematical reasoning with problems written by expert mathematicians. The project addressed the need for difficult mathematical evaluations beyond familiar competition-style questions. Its private evaluation problems are distinct from the public examples used to illustrate the benchmark.

How it was built

FrontierMath uses expert-written mathematical problems rather than simply collecting an existing public examination. The evaluation includes private problems, while public examples provide a limited view of the task format and difficulty. This catalogue links to the official introduction and examples and does not reproduce the private evaluation set.

At a glance

What a problem looks like

Advanced mathematical problems written by experts.

Why it is hard

Requires advanced mathematical reasoning on expert-written problems.

Limitations and criticism

Success on advanced mathematical problems does not by itself measure the broader process of mathematical research, such as choosing worthwhile questions or developing a reusable theory. The private evaluation set also limits independent inspection of its coverage and individual outcomes. Public examples cannot establish how representative a reported score is of other mathematical domains.
