Hey HN, Greg from ARC Prize Foundation here. Alongside Mike Knoop and François Francois Chollet, we’re launching ARC-AGI-2, a frontier AI benchmark that measures a model’s ability to generalize on tasks it hasn’t seen before, and the ARC Prize 2025 competition to beat it. In Dec ‘24, ARC-AGI-1 (2019) pinpointed the moment AI moved beyond pure memorization as seen by OpenAI's o3. ARC-AGI-2 targets test-time reasoning.…

Did I read this right that only 2 humans out of 400 solved the problems?

Why doesn’t every blogpost contain an example of a question you ask?

>> We were assured by the highest level of their company + security division that the box our test was run on would be wiped after testing Yuri Geller assured us he was bending the spoons with his mind. Somehow it was only when the Amazing Randi was present that Yuri Geller couldn't bend the spoons with his mind.

Ironically "I have a magic AI test but nobody is allowed to use it" is a lot closer to the Yuri Geller situation. Tests are meant to be taken, that should be clear. And...maybe this does not apply in the academic domain, but to some extent if you cheat on an AI test "you're only cheating yourself."

> but to some extent if you cheat on an AI test "you're only cheating yourself."

You cheat investors.

They started with N >= 120x3 tasks, and gave each task to 4-9 humans. Then they kept only those 120x3 tasks that at least 2 humans had solved.

I don’t think that follows. Just because people fail to create ARC-AGI problems that are difficult for an AI to solve, doesn’t mean that said AI can just be plugged into a humanoid robot and it will now reliably cook dinner, order a pizza and drive to pick it up, take a bus to downtown to busk on the street and take the money back home, etc.

ARC-AGI is an interesting benchmark, but it’s extremely presumptive to think that these types of tests are going to demonstrate AGI.

That's a very small sample size by task. I wonder if they give the whole data set to an average human, what the result would be. I tried some simple tasks and they are doable, but I couldn't figure out the hard ones.

In your example you already indicated two tasks that you think might be hard for AI but easy for humans.

Who said that cooking dinner couldn't be part of ARC-AGI-?

Thank you for including cost (or really any proxy for efficiency) as a dimension to this prize!

That’s precisely what I meant in my comment by “these types of tests.” People are eventually going to have some sort of standard for what they consider AGI. But that doesn’t mean the current benchmarks are useful for this task at all, and saying that the benchmarks could be completely different in the future only underscores this.

The point isn't demonstrating AGI, but rather demonstrating that AGI definitely hasn't been reached yet.
