dots-note-3.0 от RedNote — первая ИИ-модель с идеальным баллом на олимпиаде IMO

What happened

Model dots-note-3.0 solved all six IMO problems and scored 42 points — the maximum possible result at the olympiad. According to the South China Morning Post, this is the first time in history that an artificial intelligence has achieved a perfect score at the IMO.

• Developer — RedNote (Xiaohongshu), a Chinese social platform
• Model — dots-note-3.0, still in beta testing
• Result — 42 out of 42 points, all six problems solved
• Location and date — the IMO concluded in Shanghai on July 20, 2026
• dots-note-3.0 is the lightest model in the dots3 family

What is the dots-note-3.0 model?

dots-note-3.0 is the lightest model in RedNote's dots3 lineup, and at the time of the record it was still in beta. Besides note, the dots3 family includes two larger models — jazz and aria — designed for different use cases.

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) is one of China's largest social platforms, known for its recommendation feed and user-generated content rather than for developing foundational AI models. That makes it all the more surprising that its team was the first to bring a math AI to a flawless result at the IMO.

Why a perfect score matters

42 points is the absolute maximum at the IMO: the olympiad consists of six problems, each scored at a maximum of seven points. Before dots-note-3.0, no AI model had passed all six problems without losing points — which is why RedNote's result became the first perfect AI score in the olympiad's entire history.

The International Mathematical Olympiad has been held since 1959 and is considered the most prestigious mathematics competition for high school students: every year, teams from more than a hundred countries gather to solve six problems over two days. In previous years, AI models had already come close to medal-level results, but no system had managed to close out the entire problem set without errors until now.

IMO problems test not computational speed but the ability to construct rigorous proofs and find non-standard approaches — something that used to be considered the territory of the world's strongest student mathematicians.

"For the first time, an artificial intelligence model has achieved a perfect score at the

International Mathematical Olympiad," reports the South China Morning Post.

What this means

A perfect score at the IMO shows that AI models have come right up to the level of the best young mathematicians in proof-based and creative reasoning tasks. For RedNote — a social platform, not a dedicated AI lab — this is a claim to a place among China's technology leaders, on par with other developers of advanced models. If the result is confirmed by independent verification, dots-note-3.0 will become a benchmark for evaluating the mathematical abilities of future models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which AI model was the first to achieve a perfect score at the IMO?

dots-note-3.0 from the Chinese platform RedNote — it solved all six problems and scored 42 out of 42 points at the olympiad, which concluded in Shanghai on July 20, 2026. This is the first perfect AI result in the olympiad's entire history.

What is the dots3 family?

It is RedNote's lineup of AI models comprising three versions: the lightweight note (dots-note-3.0) and two larger ones — jazz and aria — designed for different use cases.

What stage is dots-note-3.0 at?

At the time of the record, the model was still in beta, according to the South China Morning Post.
