The Decoder ·

At a glance
Google's Gemini 4 Carbon has become the first non-OpenAI model in a while to top the MathArena math benchmark, pushing GPT-6.1 Sol out of first place. Claude Fable 5.2 took second place. OpenAI's newer models are not yet public.
Key points
- Gemini 4 Carbon took first place on the MathArena math test, the first non-OpenAI model in a while to do so.
- Claude Fable 5.2 placed second, and GPT-6.1 Sol dropped to third.
- Gemini 4 Carbon often runs out of time and rarely gives up, once running a script for more than eleven hours.
- With the test settings used, Carbon costs about 15 times as much as GPT-6.1 Sol, and Fable 5.2 about 40 times as much.
Why it matters
It shows that the most capable math AI can also be far more expensive to run, which matters for anyone choosing a model.
