MaxProof: Scaling Mathematical Proof with Generative-Verifier RL and Population-Level Test-Time Scaling

arXiv.org

We present MaxProof, a population-level test-time scaling framework for competition-level mathematical proof in the MiniMax-M3 series. M3 first trains three proof-oriented capabilities -- proof generation, proof verification, and critique-conditioned proof repair -- using a defense-in-depth generative verifier engineered for low false-positive rate. These capabilities are merged into a single released M3 model. At test time, MaxProof treats the model as a generator, verifier, refiner, and ranker, searches over a population of candidate proofs, and returns one final proof through tournament selection. With MaxProof test-time scaling, the M3 model reaches 35/42 on IMO 2025 and 36/42 on USAMO 2026, exceeding the human gold-medal threshold on both.

Recommended because

This is worth tracking because it is a concrete research signal, not just a passing headline. The source preview points to a research result, method, evaluation, dataset, or safety finding. For builders and operators, "Maxproof 论文发布" can be used as a checkpoint for technical due diligence, roadmap bets, agent design, and evaluation strategy. I keep this thread indexed so future searches around AI research papers, technical methods, and applied AI systems can land on a source-linked page instead of disappearing into a fast-moving feed from arXiv.org.

What to take from this signal

Context

"Maxproof 论文发布" is archived here as a source-linked AI signal from arXiv.org. The useful part is the connection between Maxproof, 论文发布, present, MaxProof, population-level and technical due diligence, roadmap bets, agent design, and evaluation strategy, which makes the item more actionable than a normal feed headline. The source context says: We present MaxProof, a population-level test-time scaling framework for competition-level mathematical proof in the MiniMax-M3 series.

Builder takeaway

For an AI builder, the main takeaway is to watch how this signal changes practical decisions around technical feasibility, evaluation design, safety limits, and product primitives. It can inform what to test next, which product surface to compare, and whether the underlying workflow is ready for real users.
