This section is about benchmarks designed to test mathematical reasoning.
This project initiated by Terence Tao aims to find the relations between various statements in abstract algebra by using a combination of automated theorem proving and human effort. As mentioned by Terence himself, this is a bit similar to the idea of the Busy Beaver Challenge:

The design of FrontierMath differs from many existing AI benchmarks because the problem set remains private and unpublished to prevent data contamination
The expected answer output for all problems is just one single, possibly ridiculously large, integer, which is kind of a cool approach. Similar to Project Euler in that aspect.
The most interesting aspect of this benchmark is the difficulty. Mathematical olympiad coach Evan Chen comments:[ref]
Problems in [the International Mathematical Olympiad] typically require creative insight while avoiding complex implementation and specialized knowledge [but for FrontierMath] they keep the first requirement, but outright invert the second and third requirement
