LONDON, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — XTX Markets is launching the Artificial Intelligence Mathematical Olympiad Prize (‘AI-MO Prize’), a new $10mn challenge fund designed to spur the creation of a publicly-shared AI model capable of winning a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

A grand prize of $5mn will be awarded to the first publicly-shared AI model to enter an AI-MO approved competition and perform at a standard equivalent to a gold medal in the IMO.
There will also be a series of progress prizes, totalling up to $5mn, for publicly-shared AI models that achieve key milestones towards the grand prize.
The IMO is a prestigious high school maths competition. A gold medal is both a benchmark for exceptional performance and a predictor of future achievement. Indeed, half of all Fields Medallists participated in the IMO in their youth.
Building on these traditions, the AI-MO Prize will accelerate progress beyond large language models like ChatGPT and develop new AI models that can reason mathematically. As such, the AI-MO Prize could represent a new Turing Test.
Gregor Dolinar, President, International Mathematical Olympiad, commented:
“Using hard mathematical problems as a benchmark to determine if AI can match the highest cognitive functions of human beings is a wonderful idea. 
Every year, more than 600 of the best students from more than 110 countries are challenged with six extremely difficult IMO problems, typically only one or two students solve all six IMO problems in the allotted nine hours.
I am sure that many people will be following the AI-MO Prize with great excitement, to see when, in the future, AI will match the world’s brightest young minds.”
Terence Tao, UCLA, Fields Medallist, commented:
“Despite recent advances, using AI to solve, or at least assist with solving, advanced mathematical problems remains an incredibly complicated and multifaceted challenge. It will be important to experiment with multiple approaches to this goal, and to benchmark the performance of each of them.
The AI-MO Prize promises to provide at least one such set of benchmarks which will help compare different AI problem solving strategies at a technical level, in a manner that will be accessible and appealing to the broader public.”
The prizes will be designed by an AI-MO Advisory Committee (to be appointed), including mathematicians, AI and machine learning experts, and experienced Olympiad problem-setters.
The first AI-MO approved competitions will open to participants in early 2024. There will be a presentation of progress at the 65th IMO which will be held in Bath, England in July 2024.
Further details as to the competition rules and entry criteria will be released in due course.
Geoff Smith, Former President, International Mathematical Olympiad and AI-MO Prize Advisory Committee Member, commented:
“The ability of modern AI systems to create a facsimile of a human when engaging in a written exchange is remarkable. However, this works best when there is a large corpus of relevant material already placed on the internet by people. 
It will be a far more demanding task to mimic a creative mathematician as they engage in abstract reasoning. The global IMO community will be delighted to be involved in supporting this competition, as we seek to measure AI systems against the best young mathematical minds.”
Simon Coyle, Head of Philanthropy, XTX Markets, commented:
“XTX Markets is excited to be launching the AI-MO Prize to spur the development of AI models capable of mathematical reasoning. We look forward to working with mathematicians, scientists and technologists to develop the prizes, and to seeing how AI models compare against exceptional high-school mathematicians.”

Titans of Tech: GP Bullhound releases its annual report on the European tech ecosystem

Published

on

titans-of-tech:-gp-bullhound-releases-its-annual-report-on-the-european-tech-ecosystem

LONDON, May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Titans of Tech:  Unrivalled era of A.I. led innovation for European Tech –  No more excuses. GP Bullhound is proud to announce the release of its Titans of Tech 2024 report. For the tenth year in a row, GP Bullhound has released its annual Titans of Tech report, highlighting and analysing the growth trends in Europe’s tech ecosystem. This comprehensive analysis underscores the resilience and growth of Europe’s tech sector, setting the stage for a new era of innovation and investment.

Key takeaways from our report include:
The funding frenzy is over, but the new normal is very healthy: Funding levels have normalised, averaging €15Bn per quarter over the last year, which is ~50% higher than 2019.The value of the ecosystem is growing despite the failures: 14 new unicorns were created in the last 12 months. Europe and Israel now have 323 unicorns, up from 311 a year ago and 283 the year before. The ecosystem’s total valuation has grown to $1.2Tr, an ~11x increase in billion-dollar companies and a ~14x increase in aggregate valuation since our first report in 2014.Megarounds are fewer but larger and still accessible: Access to capital rounds exceeding $50 million has tightened, but investors remain interested in supporting innovators. The deal count dropped 68% over the last two years due to a focus on profitability and conservative planning. Only 17% of European unicorns raised capital in 2023, as 93% had already raised funds during the 2021-2022 bull market.Software innovation continues, shaping the way we live and work: Despite funding challenges, technological developments, especially in artificial intelligence, continue to drive automation and cost savings. European AI companies received over €11Bn in funding in the last year, with 36% of new unicorns being AI/ML businesses.Category leaders and geographies: This year, the UK and France lead the startup arena with three unicorns each. The UK’s unicorns are valued at $3.4Bn, with significant contributions from AI leaders Synthesia and Builder.ai. France’s trio reaches a collective valuation of $7Bn, highlighted by innovators like Mistral AI. Germany, Israel, and the Netherlands each added two unicorns, while Sweden and Italy added one unicorn each.Europe’s most promising startups: GP Bullhound has analysed more than 100 European startups for scale, velocity, and sentiment, and ranked the top 50 companies with the most potential to become one-billion-dollar companies. The top 10 include Agicap, Brevo, Typeform, Homa, AMBOSS, Akeneo, Form3, Flo Health, Aidoc, and ConnexOne.Manish Madhvani, Managing Partner at GP Bullhound, said: “After ten years of issuing our Titans of Tech report, we have witnessed the highs and lows of the European tech ecosystem. A year ago, the situation was less encouraging for the fundraising environment, with macro uncertainty and with businesses more focused on layoffs than on growth and innovation.
Today, against the backdrop of negative headlines, we have cemented the building blocks for the next wave of innovation. Funding levels have stabilised, and are amazingly 50% higher than pre bull market levels. With Europe’s maturing base of engineering talent and the world’s fascination in its potential productivity gains, artificial intelligence offers a unique opportunity to create global leaders in record time. There is no shortage of funding for the best entrepreneurs and companies, as evidenced by the record $220m seed round for Paris based H announced this week. What was noticeable about the round was the range of the investor syndicate : from strategics such as Amazon, Samsung and UI Path, household names such as Bernard Arnault, Eric Schmidt and Xavier Niel, and leading VC’s.Looking ahead, we expect the next few years to represent an era of unprecedented innovation in the European ecosystem. Innovation is flowing, vast amounts of capital are available for the strong and the talent pool is expanding. No more excuses Europe!”
Expert interviewsWhat does it take to build a billion-dollar company? What are the critical success factors for European tech? How to remain resilient in a challenging market and benefit from economic downturns? This year’s report features expert views from leading founders and CEOs, including Synthesia, Quantexa, SEON, Flo Health, Zappi and CoverManager.
