FrontierMath: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on FrontierMath?
- Kimi K3 is the top open model on FrontierMath, scoring 72.2%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #25. The top model overall is GPT 6.1 Sol Max (OpenAI) at 93.7%.
- What's the best FrontierMath model you can run on a 24 GB GPU?
- Qwen3.6 27B is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 24 GB at 4-bit quantization (~17 GB), scoring 35.1% on FrontierMath.
- Can open models match proprietary models on FrontierMath?
- Not quite on FrontierMath: the strongest proprietary model (GPT 6.1 Sol Max) scores 93.7%, ahead of the best open model (Kimi K3) at 72.2% — but you can run the open one yourself.
