I will discuss FrontierMath, a mathematical problem solving benchmark I developed last year, including its design philosophy (and flaws) and what we have learned about AI's trajectory from it. I will then look much further out, speculate about what a "perfectly efficient" mathematical intelligence should be capable of, and discuss how high-ceiling math capability metrics can illuminate the path towards that ideal.
