Researchers at Sina Weibo posted a technical report describing VibeThinker-3B, a language model with 3 billion parameters. The model scored 94.3 on the AIME 2026 math competition, comparable to much larger systems such as DeepSeek V3.2. A test-time scaling technique raised the score to 97.1. The paper drew rapid attention on Hugging Face and GitHub but also skepticism on social media regarding benchmark reliability.
