ARC-AGI-2: The AGI Benchmark That's Easier for Humans, Harder for AI

2025-03-24

The ARC Prize 2025 competition returns with ARC-AGI-2, a significantly harder AGI benchmark for AI while remaining relatively easy for humans. Focusing on tasks simple for humans but difficult for AI, ARC-AGI-2 highlights capability gaps not addressed by simply scaling up existing models. With a $1 million prize pool, the competition encourages open-source innovation towards efficient, general AI systems, aiming to bridge the human-AI gap and achieve true AGI.

DeepSeek's R1-Zero: A Human-Free Path to AGI?

2025-01-29

DeepSeek released R1-Zero and R1, reasoning systems achieving scores comparable to OpenAI's o1 (15-20%) on the ARC-AGI-1 benchmark, significantly outperforming GPT-4o's 5% relying solely on LLM scaling. R1-Zero is particularly notable for its reliance on reinforcement learning alone, eliminating the need for supervised fine-tuning (SFT). While R1-Zero shows some challenges in readability and language mixing, its strong performance in math and coding domains demonstrates accurate chain-of-thought reasoning without SFT. This opens new avenues in AGI research, hinting at a future where AGI training might completely bypass human annotation.

OpenAI's o3 System Achieves Breakthrough Score on ARC-AGI Benchmark

2024-12-20

OpenAI's new o3 system, trained on the ARC-AGI-1 public training set, achieved a breakthrough score of 75.7% on the semi-private evaluation set, surpassing previous limitations of large language models. This represents a significant leap in AI capabilities, demonstrating novel task adaptation never before seen in the GPT family. While not yet achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), o3's success highlights the importance of test-time knowledge recombination and provides valuable data points for ongoing AGI research. Further challenges remain, as o3 still fails on some simple tasks, underscoring the complexities of achieving true AGI.
