Very cool! The massive outperformance of GPT-5 looks like there is something different in their training data indeed. Considering their previous work on games, wouldn't be surprising if they generated some synthetic game data.
Ya interesting thought - would be fascinating if generating games w/solutions is part of the training data pipeline. There's been previous work done on on testing LLMs on logic puzzles[1][2][3] so they could possibly be building off those ideas to improve performance.
