ARC Prize

Announcing ARC-AGI-3

The only unsaturated agentic intelligence benchmark in the world

Humans score 100%, AI <1%

This human-AI gap demonstrates we do not yet have AGI

Most benchmarks test what models already know, ARC-AGI-3 tests how they learn

On why open-endedness, sustained invention, and discovery are essential to AGI

Inkling 2 Small from @thinkymachines on ARC-AGI (Verified):

- ARC-AGI-2: 81.7%, $0.27/task
- ARC-AGI-1: 96.5%, $0.08/task

It outperforms every open-weight model we've evaluated on both ARC-AGI-1 & ARC-AGI-2.

Thinking Machines plans to release its full weights next week.
