OpenAI's o3 Model Achieves Breakthrough on ARC-AGI, But AGI Definition Remains Contested

OpenAI's latest model, o3, achieved a stunning 87% score on François Chollet's ARC-AGI test, reaching human-level performance for the first time and sparking a heated debate about whether AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) has been achieved. However, Chollet quickly released the harder ARC-AGI-2 test, where o3's score plummeted, once again challenging the industry's definition and metrics for AGI. This article explores the differing viewpoints and the complex relationship between AGI's definition and commercial interests, prompting deep reflection on the nature of general artificial intelligence.
