Google's Gemini 4 Carbon has become the first non-OpenAI model in a while to top the MathArena math benchmark, displacing GPT-6.1 Sol, with Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 taking second place. However, its evaluation cost runs roughly 15 times that of GPT-6.1 Sol, and its most common failure mode is exceeding the time limit while almost never abandoning a task. The best open model, Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro, trails at 54.3%.
