New high score from MindsAI!
Breaking the 40% barrier
Hello, AGI enthusiasts!
As I'm writing about the progress in ARC-AGI over the past two weeks, the world record has just been broken — again.
Let's dive into the latest updates!
Activity
A huge congratulations to Jack Cole, Michael Hodel, and Mohammed Osman (Team MindsAI) for breaking the 40% barrier for the first time in the history of ARC-AGI!
New SOTA score: 41%
To learn all about this winning solution approach, watch their recent podcast interview.
As we enter Week 6 of the ARC Prize, only 6 teams have scored higher than the open source solution templates.
Have a novel idea you've been wanting to try? Now is your moment.

- @NoahH has been experimenting with CNNs, genetic algorithms, and evolutionary algorithms. Initially, they attempted to evolve matrix transformations and weights using Pygad but found the process too time-consuming. Due to the prolonged duration required for genetic programming to evolve complex weights, they have since shifted focus to using more conventional CNNs with optimizers.
