The evaluation of mathematical reasoning in large language models (LLMs) has predominantly focused on high-resource languages like English. This has created a significant barrier to the equitable development and deployment of AI in linguistically diverse regions such as Bangladesh, where over 230 million people speak Bengali.
PhysElite is a new bilingual multimodal benchmark designed to evaluate large language models on Olympiad-level physics problems. It contains 11,586 problems, each paired with visual diagrams, step-by-step bilingual Chinese‑English solution derivations, and the final answer. Benchmarking 18 models revealed that even the best reaches only 33.7% accuracy, and a step‑level analysis highlights where models falter in reasoning.
