If a model can't inately reason over 5 steps in a simple task but produces a flawless 500 step proof you either have divine intervention or memorisation.
Also, AIMOv2 is doing stage 2 of their math challenge, they are now at "national olympics" level of difficulty. They have a new set of questions. Last year's winner (27/50 points) got 2/50 on the new set. In the first 3 weeks of the competition the top score is 10/50 on the new set, mostly with Qwen2.5-math. Given that this is a purposefully made new set of problems, and according to the organizers "made to be AI hard", I'd say the regurgitation stuff is getting pretty stale.
Also also, the fact that claude3.5 can start coding in an invented language w/ ~20-30k tokens of "documentation" about the invented language is also some kind of proof that the stochastic parrots are the dismissers in this case.
