Wordle meets AI IQ test
Can you solve the Daily Puzzle?!
Hi, everyone!
We have something fun to share with you. Introducing the ARC Prize Daily Puzzle.
ARC-AGI is an important AI intelligence benchmark, but it's also just super fun to play!
More people interacting with ARC tasks helps bring joy to the world and bring awareness to our mission - to renew energy into creating novel AI architectures that lead to AGI.
That's why today we're launching a fun, new shared community experience.
Every day at 12pm UTC (5am Pacific / 8am Eastern), an ARC-AGI task will be selected as the puzzle of the day.
Solve the puzzle and share your results (time to solve, number of attempts) with the world.

Here are more updates from the past two weeks!

Another day, another SoTA on @arcprize. We will miss you 42. 43 now 🚀 Any predictions for what the score will be by Saturday?@bayesilicon @EpSil0nDelTa @mikeknoop @fchollet @GregKamradt @bryanlanders

Just three days after breaking the 40% barrier, the MindsAI team has reached a new milestone of 43%. This marks a remarkable 10% progress since the start of the ARC Prize.
While there are over 700 submitting teams and nearly 4,000 total submissions to date, there are very few teams with scores higher than publicly available solution templates. That means there's still room for you and your ideas. It's not too late to join the competition!
We've received numerous requests for helpful resources, and we're happy to share our public resource collection, which includes ARC-AGI related videos, papers, and repositories.
You might find the key to your own breakthrough here.

LLM Logical Reasoning Capabilities
Prof. Subbarao Kambhampati discusses the definition of reasoning, the nature of LLMs, and how they can be complemented by external verification systems for more reliable output. Listen to his insights on LLMs in the ARC Prize competition.

Team Up
Looking to collaborate with other AGI developers? The best place to find advice and team up is the ARC Prize Discord. Find your potential podium match here and in our dedicated #team-formation channel.
- @chinnum97 (Madarshbb on Kaggle) and Kawaii are focusing on LLM- and DreamCoder/DSL-based approaches. They explore methods like active inference, augmenting datasets, and fine-tuning models during testing. They're also considering non-attention models like Mamba, RWKV, and simple CNNs/RNNs. For their DreamCoder approach, they need help with DSL generation and pipeline development.
- @Dan is working full-time on a brain-derived neural approach and has several components implemented. He seeks a partner to split the workload and refine the project's direction. Ideally, this person should be familiar with neuroscience and related literature.
