ARC Prize 2025

Overview

This competition challenges you to create AI systems that can learn new skills and solve problems efficiently, moving beyond systems that rely solely on extensive training data. The goal is to develop AI capable of novel reasoning, aiming to achieve human-level performance on the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) tasks. Your work can significantly advance the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
