Chollet confirmed ARC-AGI-3 launches March 25 — the first major format change since 2019. The key shift: ARC-3 tests interactive reasoning and agency — a model's capacity to set and pursue goals independently. The scoring metric provides the first formal human vs. AI action ef...
Drops static puzzles for interactive games where agents must figure out rules through exploration. First format change since 2019. Preview: most humans beat the games easily; AI agents struggle. ARC Prize
First interactive reasoning benchmark. Top agent (StochasticGoose) scored 12.58% vs. humans. "Intelligence is efficiency." Agents struggle to convert environmental feedback into coherent strategies. Full launch March 25. ARC Prize
ARC-AGI-3 makes a fundamental shift: instead of static puzzle-solving, it measures agency — a model's capacity to set and pursue goals independently in interactive environments. Public release March 25. If frontier models still fail at ARC-AGI-3 despite succeeding at coding ta...
The ARC Prize Foundation is launching ARC-AGI-3, the first major format change since 2019. Unlike versions 1 and 2 (static visual reasoning), version 3 uses game-like environments where agents explore without instructions, discover rules, and adapt to hand-crafted levels that...
Chollet confirmed GPT-5.2 at 46-50%, Poetiq at 54%. But he cautions: "Saturating ARC does not mean we have AGI." ARC-AGI-3 launches March 25 with harder abstractions. For builders, the current benchmark race validates that agent scaffolding improvements (not just model improve...
