It's the least interesting benchmark for language models among all they've released, especially now that we already had a large jump in its best scores this year. It might be more useful as a multimodal reasoning task since it clearly involves visual elements, but with o3 already performing so well, this has proven unnecessary. ARC-AGI served a very specific purpose well: showcasing tasks where humans easily outperformed language models, so these simple puzzles had their uses. But tasks like proving math theorems or programming are far more impactful.
- versteegen 2y agoARC wasn't designed as a benchmark for LLMs, and it doesn't make much sense to compare them on it since it's the wrong modality. Even a MLM with image inputs can't be expected to do well, since they're nothing like 99.999% of the training data. The fact that even a text-only LLM can solve ARC problems with the proper framework is important, however.
