Acknowledgements: Celebrating Collaborative Genius Behind the IMO 2025

It’s not every day that you get to peek behind the curtain of a groundbreaking project like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2025. But the truth is, the success of such an ambitious endeavor doesn’t come from one brilliant mind alone; it’s a massive team effort! So let’s take a moment to appreciate all the hard work that went into crafting the advanced Gemini model with Deep Think.

The Power of Teamwork

When you think of complex systems like the IMO 2025, what comes to mind? It’s like trying to piece together a puzzle without the box! Thanks to Thang Luong, who navigated the technical direction, and co-leads Edward Lockhart and Dawsen Hwang, the puzzle of collaboration began to take shape. Imagine a team of experts, each playing their own vital role—some diving into training data, while others focused on model evaluation. That’s how we managed to build an advanced training and inference system.

Every Contribution Matters

Let’s break it down a bit. The journey would’ve been a rocky one without key contributors such as Jonathan Lee and Yi Tay, who not only led training efforts but also shaped the advanced Gemini model itself. Then there were the minds behind the scenes, like Golnaz Ghiazi and Garrett Bingham, making sure that inference was spot on. It’s kinda like a relay race—everyone passing the baton to ensure the finish line is crossed.

• Key Contributors:
  • Thang Luong (Technical Direction)
  • Edward Lockhart (Co-lead)
  • Dawsen Hwang (Co-lead on data and evaluation)
  • Jonathan Lee, Yi Tay, and others on training

Every task, no matter how small, was crucial to reaching the final goal. So, let’s face it—this system wouldn’t exist without each of these dedicated folks!

Gratitude Where It’s Due

Now let’s not forget to shout out to the AlphaGeometry team, led by Yuri Chervonyi, who took mathematical structures to a whole new level. And a huge thanks to our talented experts like Insuk Seo, who provided invaluable evaluations. Honestly, these people aren’t just names on a list; they’re the backbone of how we pulled this off!

Collaboration Beyond Limits

The IMO 2025 effort transcended the individual. Whether it was the deployment specialists like Emanuel Taropa or the logistical wizards like Jane Labanowski, it’s clear that every single person made a difference.

• Further Key Players:
  • Emanuel Taropa (Deployment Expert)
  • Jane Labanowski (Logistics)
  • Omer Levy and his awesome advisory crew

When we think about the logistical hurdles, it’s like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded! But with this brilliant mix of minds, we kept moving straight towards our destination.

A Bright Future Ahead

At the end of the day, the IMO has confirmed that our submitted answers are not only complete but correct! Sure, their review doesn’t validate our entire system or its process, but it reassures us that the energetic spirit of teamwork has succeeded.

So, what’s your take? Want more insights like this about groundbreaking projects? Let’s keep the conversation going!
