MATH Benchmark (500-problem subset) Leaderboard

Competition-level mathematics across algebra, geometry, number theory, counting/probability, intermediate algebra, and precalculus. 500-problem subset used by OpenAI for consistent evaluation.

Why it matters: Tests genuine mathematical reasoning, not just pattern matching. Reasoning models (o1, R1) dramatically outperform standard models here.

Frequently Asked Questions

MATH-500 is a standardized evaluation that measures AI model performance on specific tasks. It provides comparable scores across different models, helping developers choose the right model for their needs.

o3 currently holds the top score on the MATH-500 benchmark. See our full rankings table above for the complete leaderboard with 48 models.

We update benchmark data from multiple sources including HuggingFace open-source model leaderboards and LMArena. Scores are refreshed regularly as new evaluations are published and new models are released.

No. While MATH-500 is an important indicator, real-world performance depends on many factors including pricing, latency, context window, and specific task requirements. We recommend using our composite score which weighs multiple benchmarks and practical factors.
