ARC Prize – a $1M+ competition towards open AGI progress

Hey folks! Mike here. Francois Chollet and I are launching ARC Prize, a public competition to beat and open-source the solution to the ARC-AGI eval. ARC-AGI is (to our knowledge) the only eval which measures AGI: a system that can efficiently acquire new skill and solve novel, open-ended problems. Most AI evals measure skill directly vs the acquisition of new skill. Francois created the eval in 2019, SOTA was 20% at inception, SOTA today is only 34%. Humans score 85-100%. 300 teams attempted ARC-AGI last year and several bigger labs have attempted it. While most other skill-based evals have rapidly saturated to human-level, ARC-AGI was designed to resist “memorization” techniques (eg. LLMs) Solving ARC-AGI tasks is quite easy for humans (even children) but impossible for modern AI. You can try ARC-AGI tasks yourself here: https://ift.tt/UdgfHn4 ARC-AGI consists of 400 public training tasks, 400 public test tasks, and 100 secret test tasks. Every task is novel. SOTA is measured against the secret test set which adds to the robustness of the eval. Solving ARC-AGI tasks requires no world knowledge, no understanding of language. Instead each puzzle requires a small set of “core knowledge priors” (goal directedness, objectness, symmetry, rotation, etc.) At minimum, a solution to ARC-AGI opens up a completely new programming paradigm where programs can perfectly and reliably generalize from an arbitrary set of priors. At maximum, unlocks the tech tree towards AGI. Our goal with this competition is: 1. Increase the number of researchers working on frontier AGI research (vs tinkering with LLMs). We need new ideas and the solution is likely to come from an outsider! 2. Establish a popular, objective measure of AGI progress that the public can use to understand how close we are to AGI (or not). Every new SOTA score will be published here: https://x.com/arcprize 3. Beat ARC-AGI and learn something new about the nature of intelligence. Happy to answer questions!
