Abstract

The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is the world's most prestigious and renowned physics competition for pre-university students. IPhO problems require complex reasoning based on deep understanding of physical principles in a standard general physics curriculum. On IPhO 2025 theory problems, while gold medal performance by AI models was reported previously, it falls behind the best human contestant. Here we build a simple agent with Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. We run it five times and it achieved a perfect score every time. However, data contamination could occur because Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview was released after the competition.
