🧩 Can you solve this simple puzzle? 🧩
For humans, it’s a piece of cake, but for modern AI models, it’s a major challenge. Give it a try:
🌟 The ARC Prize: A competition with over $1,000,000 in prize money to promote open progress in ARC 🌟
🔍 Why new ideas are needed:
Progress in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has stalled. Current AI models show impressive capabilities in memorization, but they cannot acquire new skills in new situations. This generalization ability is crucial for true intelligence.
📊 The challenges of current benchmarks:
Many AI systems beat humans in games like poker, chess, and Go, but they cannot transfer their skills to other games without significant modifications. This highlights the limitations of current AI architectures.
📈 The ARC-AGI Benchmark:
François Chollet, the creator of Keras, introduced the ARC-AGI to measure a system’s ability to efficiently acquire new skills and solve open-ended problems. Humans, even children, master these tasks quickly, while the current state of the art is only at 34%, compared to 20% in 2019.

🔓 The importance of open source:
Since the release of GPT-4, progress in AGI has increasingly become closed source. Important technical details are no longer disclosed for competitive reasons. This has shifted research away from new architectures and algorithms.
💡 The history of Large Language Models (LLMs) :
The history of transformer architectures shows that scientific breakthroughs often result from collaboration and building on the work of others. From the early learning methods to the latest ones that rely solely on “attention,” the immense value of open research is evident.
🏆 The ARC Prize:
The ARC Prize was established as a competition with over $1,000,000 in prize money to find a solution to the ARC-AGI and make it open source.
🎯 Goals of the ARC Prize:
• Increase the number of researchers working on frontier AGI research.
• Popularize an objective measure of AGI progress.
• Solve the ARC-AGI and gain new insights into the nature of intelligence.
This approach could shape the future of AGI and ensure that progress is open and accessible to all. It will be exciting to see how this initiative develops and what new insights it brings. 🌍🤖
