<p class="text-lg mb-4 f1-p">Frontier AI models have recently demonstrated strong performance on mathematical and algorithmic benchmarks, including earning gold medals in olympiads, and attaining top percentile ratings in competitive programming contests. How well do such benchmarks capture the true depth of algorithmic reasoning, as it arises in real-world research problems?</p>
<p class="text-lg mb-4 f1-p">We believe that existing benchmarks fail to capture the deep reasoning skills required for complex, research-level algorithmic problems. To address this gap, we introduce <strong>FormulaOne</strong>.</p>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p"><strong>FormulaOne</strong> consists of 220 novel dynamic programming problems over graphs. The problems are organised into three categories, ranging from moderate difficulty and all the way up to research-level.</p>

<h2 class="text-3xl font-bold text-white f1-h2">An “Infinite Well” of Problems</h2>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">The novelty and vastness of FormulaOne stems from its theoretical foundation. The questions are not arbitrary puzzles, but are instead drawn from the highly expressive framework of <strong>Monadic Second-Order</strong> (MSO) logic on graphs. This provides a principled, semi-automatic way to generate a virtually infinite supply of mathematically deep algorithmic challenges. Despite their theoretical underpinnings, the problems in FormulaOne are natural and succinct:</p>
<div class="f1-problem-box">
<p class="font-bold text-lg mb-2">Problem #44</p>
<p class="mb-2"><strong>Input:</strong> A tree-like graph G=(V,E), a tree decomposition T of G, and a weight function w:V→N.</p>
<p class="mb-2"><strong>Objective:</strong> Compute the sum of all weights of sets S⊆V such that the graph G[S], induced over S, does not contain any cycle of length four.</p>
<p class="text-sm text-gray-400"><strong>Notation:</strong> The weight of a set of vertices S is defined as w(S) ≜ ∑<sub>v∈S</sub>w(v). The final result should be returned modulo 10<sup>9</sup>+7.</p>
</div>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">While the problems are often natural to state, their solutions are far from obvious. The solvability of this vast class of problems is guaranteed by an algorithmic <strong>meta-theorem</strong> due to Courcelle, which broadly states:</p>
<blockquote class="my-6 f1-blockquote">
“For every sufficiently tree-like graph, any problem definable in an expressive formal logic — Monadic Second-Order (MSO) logic — can be solved by a dynamic programming algorithm that operates in time linear in the order of the graph.”
</blockquote>
<p class="f1-p">The key is to use a structure known as a tree decomposition, which organises the graph’s vertices into a series of overlapping sets, or “bags”, that are themselves arranged in a tree.</p>
<figure class="f1-figure">
<img src="/file=assets/bag_modifications.png" alt="An illustration of local modifications to bags (dashed boxes)" class="max-w-full md:max-w-2xl mx-auto rounded-lg shadow-md">
<figcaption class="f1-figcaption">An illustration of local modifications to bags: Introduce, Forget, and Join.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">An algorithm can then traverse this tree of bags, solving the problem piece by piece using dynamic programming. This process involves designing a “state” that summarises all necessary information about the partial solution within a bag, and then defining how this state transforms as vertices are introduced, forgotten, or bags are merged.</p>

</figure>
<p class="f1-p">The deceptive simplicity of the problem statements belies the <strong>extraordinary difficulty</strong> of discovering the correct dynamic programming solution. This process is riddled with subtle combinatorial and logical pitfalls, demanding a profound understanding of the problem’s underlying structure. For a detailed walkthrough of the fifteen interdependent reasoning steps required to solve a single hard problem – <strong>Maximal-Cluster-Graph</strong> – see the appendix of our paper.</p>

<h2 class="text-3xl font-bold text-white f1-h2">Guiding Principles</h2>
<ul class="list-disc list-inside space-y-4">
<li class="f1-li"><strong>An In-Distribution Benchmark for Reasoning.</strong> Unlike benchmarks that test for out-of-distribution generalisation, FormulaOne presents problems that are squarely <strong>in-distribution</strong> for models trained on code. Essentially, dynamic programming on graphs is the “bread and butter” of algorithmic programming. Thus, models’ current failure on FormulaOne highlights a fundamental deficit in deep, multi-step reasoning, rather than a lack of domain exposure.</li>
<li class="f1-li"><strong>An Unbounded Environment for Reinforcement Learning.</strong> The MSO framework allows for the generation of a nearly infinite stream of algorithmic problems with verifiable solutions, making it an ideal environment for training and evaluating agents with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR).</li>
<li class="f1-li"><strong>Probing the Frontiers of Complexity Theory.</strong> Many problems in our dataset are related to central conjectures in fine-grained complexity, such as the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. If a model were to discover a significantly faster algorithm for one of these problems, that would constitute a significant contribution to theoretical computer science.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section id="evaluation">
<h2 class="text-3xl font-bold text-white f1-h2">Evaluation</h2>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">To give models the best possible chance of success, we provide a generous few-shot prompt that covers a broad array of the ideas and techniques involved in solving these problems. All models were evaluated using their highest available reasoning settings and with the maximum context length permitted.</p>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">Each submitted solution is subjected to a rigorous and automated test suite that measures three key aspects of its validity:</p>
<ul class="list-disc list-inside space-y-2 mb-6">
<li class="f1-li"><strong>Correctness:</strong> The output of the submitted algorithm must be correct on all graphs.</li>
<li class="f1-li"><strong>Consistency:</strong> The solution must produce the same output for a given graph, regardless of the specific structure of its tree decomposition.</li>
<li class="f1-li"><strong>Efficiency:</strong> The solution must be truly fixed-parameter linear.</li>
</ul>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">To support research and encourage community contributions, the <code>FormulaOne-Warmup</code> dataset is released as a public resource for training and fine-tuning models. The complete test suite for all 100 Warmup problems is available, alongside a standalone evaluation environment, in our public GitHub repository: <a href="https://github.com/double-ai/formulaone-dataset/tree/main" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="f1-a">https://github.com/double-ai/formulaone-dataset/tree/main</a>.</p>
<p class="f1-p">In contrast, to maintain the integrity of the core benchmark, only a minimal subset of tests is released for the <code>FormulaOne Tier 1</code> and <code>Tier 2</code> problems.</p>
<h3 class="text-2xl font-bold text-white mt-8 mb-4">Model Accuracy</h3>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">On the <strong>FormulaOne-Warmup</strong> problems, frontier models perform reasonably well. This confirms they have a foundational capability for these types of algorithmic tasks.</p>
<figure class="f1-figure">
<img src="/file=assets/warmup_performance.png" alt="Plot showing model performance on FormulaOne-Warmup" class="max-w-full md:max-w-2xl mx-auto rounded-lg shadow-md">
<figcaption class="f1-figcaption">Performance of frontier models on the FormulaOne-Warmup dataset.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p class="mb-4 f1-p">However, as the reasoning depth increases in <strong>FormulaOne Tier 1</strong>, and solutions require the discovery and integration of novel and more complex state representations, model performance drops off sharply.</p>
<figure class="f1-figure">

<figcaption class="f1-figcaption">Figure 1: Performance of frontier reasoning models on the FormulaOne dataset.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p class="f1-p">This trend culminates in <strong>FormulaOne Tier 2</strong>, where the difficulty is characteristic of exploratory research problems. On this set of 20 problems, no current frontier model solves even a single one. This result starkly illustrates the gap that remains between high performance on existing benchmarks and the deep algorithmic reasoning required for truly complex problems.</p>
