It seems O3 following trend of Chess engine that you can cut your search depth depends on state.

It's good for games with clear signal of success (Win/Lose for Chess, tests for programming). One of the blocker for AGI is we don't have clear evaluation for most of our tasks and we cannot verify them fast enough.

My initial impression: it's very impressive and very exciting. My skeptical impression: it's complete hubris to conflate ARC or any benchmark with truly general intelligence. I know my skepticism here is identical to moving goalposts. More and more I am shifting my personal understanding of general intelligence as a phenomenon we will only ever be able to identify with the benefit of substantial retrospect. As it is…

I just googled arc agi questions, and it looks like it is similar to an iq test with raven matrix. Similar as in you have some examples of images before and after, then an image before and you have to guess the after.

Could anyone confirm if this is the only kind of questions in the benchmark? If yes, how come there is such a direct connection to "oh this performs better than humans" when llm can be quite better than us in understanding and forecasting patterns? I'm just curious, not trying to stir up controversies

It doesn't need to be general intelligence or perfectly map to human intelligence.

All it needs to be is useful. Reading constant comments about LLMs can't be general intelligence or lack reasoning etc, to me seems like people witnessing the airplane and complaining that it isn't "real flying" because it isn't a bird flapping its wings (a large portion of the population held that point of view back then).

It doesn't need to be general intelligence for the rapid advancement of LLM capabilities to be the most societal shifting development in the past decades.

O3 High (tuned) model scored an 88% at what looks like $6,000/task haha I think soon we'll be pricing any kind of tasks by their compute costs. So basically, human = $50/task, AI = $6,000/task, use human. If AI beats human, use AI? Ofc that's considering both get 100% scores on the task

Congratulations to Francois Chollet on making the most interesting and challenging LLM benchmark so far. A lot of people have criticized ARC as not being relevant or indicative of true reasoning, but I think it was exactly the right thing. The fact that scaled reasoning models are finally showing progress on ARC proves that what it measures really is relevant and important for reasoning. It's obvious to everyone that…

Are there any single-step non-reasoner models that do well on this benchmark? I wonder how well the latest Claude 3.5 Sonnet does on this benchmark and if it's near o1.

How much longer can I get paid $150k to write code ?

I’ll believe the models can take the jobs of programmers when they can generate a sophisticated iOS app based on some simple prompts, ready for building and publication in the app store. That is nowhere near the horizon no matter how much things are hyped up, and it may well never arrive.

If people constantly have to ask if your test is a measure of AGI, maybe it should be renamed to something else.

From the post

> Passing ARC-AGI does not equate achieving AGI, and, as a matter of fact, I don't think o3 is AGI yet. o3 still fails on some very easy tasks, indicating fundamental differences with human intelligence.

Isn't that generally what ... all jobs are? Automation Cost vs Longterm Human cost... its why amazon did the weird "our stores are AI driven" but in reality was cheaper to higher a bunch of guys in a sweat shop to look at the cameras and write things down lol.

The thing is given what we've seen from distillation and tech, even if its 6,000/task... that will come down drastically over time through optimization and just... faster more efficient processing hardware and software.
