Meta AI has reportedly achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on the Asian Physics Olympiad’s theoretical exam, a result that, if verified, would mark a significant milestone in AI reasoning. Meta’s ‘Muse Spark’ model has been leading on multiple 2025 International Physics Olympiad leaderboards. The Asian Physics Olympiad brought together roughly 240 students from 30 countries for its 2025 edition in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The gold medal threshold for APhO and related IPhO events typically falls in the range of 21 to 23 out of 30. Google’s Gemini agents and Shanghai AI Lab’s P1 model have both achieved near-perfect theoretical scores in controlled tests at International Physics Olympiad events. The HiPhO benchmark suite, published in September 2025, evaluates AI performance across 12 different physics olympiads including APhO components, and has shown that top models have generally fallen short of perfection. The risk, as always, is in verification, and independent confirmation of benchmark results remains essential.
