What the test looks like
Tier 4 is the hardest FrontierMath set: roughly fifty research problems that expert mathematicians estimate would take days of focused work. They are written to be beyond current systems and to test genuine mathematical reasoning rather than recall.
How it is scored
Percent of problems solved with an automatically checked final answer, run by Epoch AI under the same harness as the lower tiers.
What to keep in mind
With so few problems, a single solve moves the score by about two points, and most models score in the single digits. Treat it as a frontier signal, not a ranking of ordinary mathematical ability.
