FrontierMath Erd\H{o}s

A new benchmark called FrontierMath Erdős (FME), introduced in a paper submitted to arXiv on 6 September 2026, evaluates AI systems on 68 Erdős problems that remained open as of August 2026, requiring them to prove or disprove each conjecture in the Lean proof assistant. The 68 problems were selected by the paper's second author from 652 open problems on erdosproblems.com, and five AI models were tested autonomously under a budget of $300 per problem. GPT-6 Astra scored 3%, the only model to resolve any problem, while all other models scored 0%.

Abstract:We introduce FrontierMath Erdős (FME), a benchmark of 68 Erdős problems that are open as of August 2026. To solve a task in FME, AI systems must resolve (prove or disprove) one of the 68 conjectures in the proof assistant Lean. Our 68 problems were selected by the second author among 652 open problems on this http URL for their mathematical interest and difficulty. AIs have recently resolved several open problems in mathematics, but these demonstrations fall short of a systematic study of AI capabilities. FME evaluates every AI model on the same fixed problems, autonomously and under the same budget. We evaluated five AIs with a budget of $300 per problem. One (GPT-6 Astra) scored 3%, and all others scored 0%.
