High scores on them may therefore reflect memorization rather than reasoning, and most of them check only final answers, not proofs. Private alternatives like FrontierMath and HLE avoid leakage, but they are expensive, opaque and hard… 2. **[Proof or Bluff? Evaluating LLMs on 2025 USA Math Olympiad](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/petrov-2025-proof-or-bluff-evaluating-llms/)** *(2025 · 31 citations)* Benchmarks such as MathArena show reasoning LLMs performing at near-elite levels on answer-based contests like AIME and HMMT. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ivo Petrov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ivo-petrov/) ×2 - [Jasper Dekoninck](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jasper-dekoninck/) ×2 - [Martin Vechev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/martin-vechev/) ×2 - [Mislav Balunović](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mislav-balunovic/) ×2 - [Kristian Minchev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kristian-minchev/) - [Maria Drencheva](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maria-drencheva/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 124 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [47 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nikola-jovanovic/cited-by/).
