arXiv:2606.05818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Between April 1 and May 15, 2026, a group of 49 mathematicians compiled a dataset of research-level mathematics questions with known answers. Most of the work was done during the 3-day workshop *Benchmarks in Leipzig* with 35 participants at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, Germany. We present the resulting collection of 100 questions. We evaluated these questions in three stages: a single attempt by five state-of-the-art LLMs, followed by a 20-runs-per-model evaluation with three of these models, and finally
The rapid advancement of LLMs necessitates robust and specialized benchmarks to accurately measure their capabilities in complex domains like advanced mathematics.
This initiative provides a crucial, high-quality dataset for evaluating advanced AI models, directly impacting the development trajectory and perceived capabilities of general AI.
The availability of a research-level mathematics benchmark allows for more precise and challenging evaluations of LLMs, potentially accelerating progress in AI reasoning and problem-solving.
