EMO Reference - AIME 2025 and 2026 (greedy zero-shot): leaderboard
Table 1 zero-shot Base column only: the untouched model, greedy decoding, max_new_tokens 8,192 (12,288 on AIME; 16,384 for DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B), vLLM. 60 problems (AIME 2025 and 2026, 30 each), boxed integer answers. TextGrad and EMO columns are test-time optimisation methods and are not published. Checkpoints per the paper's Table 6 (Hugging Face ids); the paper marks the Qwen3, Qwen3.5 and DeepSeek-R1 distill checkpoints as models with an explicit long chain-of-thought mode. Metric: Accuracy (%). Higher is better. Source: https://arxiv.org/html/2610.22160v1
Metric: Accuracy (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 8 models tracked.
