 In a remarkable milestone for artificial intelligence, two advanced AI models — GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro — have achieved gold medal performance at the International Olympiad of Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA), according to research published in October 2025. This achievement highlights how far AI has progressed — from generating language to solving complex scientific problems once thought to require human intuition and expertise. AI Excels at Complex Physics Problems Researchers tested several large language models using past IOAA theoretical exams . These exams are known for their difficulty, demanding deep understanding, logical derivation, and data interpretation. Among all tested models, GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro stood out with exceptional scores: GPT-5 scored 85.6 percent, Gemini 2.5 Pro scored 84.2 percent. Both results surpassed the gold medal threshold, placing the models in the top tier of all participants — a level equivalent to human gold medalists. However, the stud...

Google DeepMind’s Breakthrough: How AlphaFold Won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry By Aero Nutist (Data Science) | Published May 8, 2025 Imagine a world where scientists can understand the tiny building blocks of life in just minutes instead of years. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, in 2024, Google DeepMind made this a reality with their incredible AI tool called AlphaFold, which won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry! (Nobel Prize Press Release) This blog will take you on a journey through what AlphaFold is, why it’s such a big deal, and how it’s changing the world of science. Let’s dive in! What is AlphaFold, and Why Does It Matter? Proteins are like the workers of our body—they do everything from fighting diseases to helping us digest food. But to understand how they work, scientists need to know their 3D shapes, which is super tricky to figure out. (Nature) For decades, this was a huge problem in biology, taking years of experiments to solve the shape o...
