Story
The first interactive reasoning benchmark: instead of input/output grids, agents face novel games in an ARC grid world where they must discover rules through trial and error, track state, and learn on the fly. Given METR showed SWE-bench PRs aren't mergeable and EsoLang-Bench proved memorization, ARC-AGI-3 could become the gold standard for measuring actual AI reasoning. ARC Prize
