Abstract Pattern Recognition Evaluation

via “abstract-pattern-recognition-evaluation”

Abstract reasoning benchmark with $1M prize for AGI.

Unique: Explicitly designed to measure learning efficiency and abstract reasoning on novel tasks, resisting scaling-only solutions. Foundation claims 'scaling alone will not reach AGI' and positions ARC-AGI as identifying capability gaps that require new algorithmic ideas, not just parameter scaling.

vs others: Differs from knowledge benchmarks (MMLU, TriviaQA) by requiring genuine learning and generalization rather than retrieval; differs from domain-specific reasoning benchmarks (math, code) by using abstract visual puzzles without domain conventions or pre-training advantages.
