Core Insights - ByteDance's Seed team released the results of the 2025 college entrance examination simulation, showcasing the performance of their model, Doubao Seed 1.6-Thinking, which achieved scores of 683 in liberal arts and 648 in sciences, ranking it highest in liberal arts among five top models tested [1] - The results indicate that Doubao excelled in subjects such as Chinese, English, Physics, History, Geography, and Politics, with a mathematics score exceeding 140. The DeepSeek R1 model achieved the highest score in mathematics at 145, while Gemini 2.5 Pro scored 82 in Chemistry and tied with OpenAI o3 for the highest score in Biology at 77 [1] - The Seed team noted that the initial test used low-resolution exam papers, which affected performance in Chemistry and Biology, but after obtaining higher quality images, Doubao's scores improved by nearly 30 points in these subjects, raising the total science score to 676, demonstrating the potential of multimodal reasoning [1] Subject Performance Summary - The Shandong province's college entrance examination follows a "3+3" format, with core subjects being Chinese, Mathematics, and English, and three elective subjects scored on a grade conversion basis. The highest possible score for Doubao's combination could reach around 690, potentially placing it in the top 80 rankings for admission to prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University [2] - Performance breakdown of various models in the examination: - Total score: Doubao Seed 1.6-Thinking scored 648, while Gemini 2.5 Pro scored 655, DeepSeek R1 scored 615, Claude scored 268, and OpenAI o3 scored 579 [2] - Subject scores: - Chinese: Doubao 128, Gemini 126, DeepSeek 118, Claude 117, OpenAI 135 - Mathematics: Doubao 741, DeepSeek 145, Claude 128, OpenAI 136 - English: Doubao 144, Gemini 141, DeepSeek 143, Claude 142, OpenAI 140 - Physics: Doubao 90, Gemini 86, DeepSeek 62, Claude 74, OpenAI 78 - Chemistry: Doubao 78, Gemini 82, DeepSeek 72, Claude 61, OpenAI 71 - Biology: Doubao 76, Gemini 77, DeepSeek 75, Claude 76, OpenAI 77 - Geography: Doubao 94, Gemini 78, DeepSeek 19, Claude 92, OpenAI 90 - History: Doubao 92, Gemini 84, DeepSeek 67, Claude 78, OpenAI 84 - Politics: Doubao 84, Gemini 82, DeepSeek 79, Claude 76, OpenAI 80 [2]
