The ARC-AGI-3 scorecard is extremely misleading given that it clearly states itself that "with [the responses API] harness, we estimate Sol would score in the ballpark of ~30%." but it shows a score of 7.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol presumably since if they updated the percentage for GPT-5.6 Sol to the score it would receive with the responses API harness they used for GPT-6 Astra they'd have to do the same for the percentage…

No. Humans are still better at super long context learning. Once that is beat you are completely correct.

Wouldn't "general intelligence" require so much more than scoring well (or even amazingly) on benchmarks?

Like what about having some "AGI model" embodied in something (maybe humanoid), and test it by having it step in an assortment of cars and park them. Does bodily-kinesthetic intelligence account for nothing? Humans are intelligent creatures and can dynamically adapt to the physical shape of a variety of vehicles and their movement characteristics. And there's so many things like this that are extremely basic, which some people dismiss since practically every human has the capability to do it, but actually requires a high degree of intelligence.

I dropped my claude subscription a few months ago, though I kept some credits to do this and that with claude, thinking that claude might do better for some tasks. A few days ago they were all expired. It feels like it’s time to let claude go.

I want to take a step back: So, this is GPT-6 -- the natural number version release comparable to GPT-4 and GPT-5 from the past few years. The ARC-AGI-3 score is obviously impressive at 99.9% (we'll need to wait for more details on how they used the response API harness on GPT-6 Astra, wrt reasoning retention and compaction), but every other benchmarks seems to be a relatively modest improvement, comparable with any…

> If this is truly AGI (subject to one's definition of AGI still), then this is a very boring release of an AGI model. Hot take: These models are never going to be 'AGI'. We're just going from a GPT4 ball that's 90% round to a GPT5 that's 99% round to a GPT6 that's 99.9% etc etc etc I think that the harnesses and context management is really where the rubber meets the road, and the real gains are happening there.

We call that a sigmoid.

I don't think so.

One could use gpt-4 or gpt-5 with today's harnesses and we'd see how well that goes.

It's like my RPG character putting every points to one single trait. I'll one shot everything alive but will instantly die if accidentally drink water with 6.9 pH.

The FrontierCode 1.1 Extended benchmark is the only benchmark that aligns with my actual LLM experiences and Astra isn't significantly better or cheaper. All this celebration, and yet it's only on-par with an already existing model? I don't get it.

If your benchmark shows Opus 5 winning, I really question the validity of it.

ARC AGI-3 saturated by Astra! https://arcprize.org/leaderboard

I think it could indicate that "semi-private" dataset likely leaked to their training data.

A dataset being as popular as their's is will contaminate the data just by people discussing it and creating their own public test sets of similar problems.

Still, probably not that much compared to employees targeting it.

Is anyone else just exhausted by the pace of all this. The models change constantly and relentlessly and so does the pricing, basically weekly at this point between all the labs. It feels nearly impossible to have any rigorous approach when choosing a particular model and price point for a task and more like blindly picking one. The time period needed to actually get familiar with various models to a degree you can i…

That's how cutting edge tech has always worked.

Imagine buying a shiny new PC in the 90s only to see it become practically obsolete within a year.
