By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's Gemini 4 Carbon has surpassed OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol to claim the top spot on the MathArena AI math benchmark. Anthropic's Fable 5.2 also outperformed GPT-6.1 Sol. However, both Gemini 4 Carbon and Fable 5.2 are significantly more expensive than GPT-6.1 Sol, with Gemini 4 Carbon costing 15 times more. Gemini 4 Carbon notably ignored time limits during testing and demonstrated persistent problem-solving. AI
