Yet skeptics, like Gary Marcus and Teppo Felin, argue that hype outpaces real capability, as models still “jaggedly” excel at narrow tasks and struggle on robust benchmarks like ARC-AGI-2. The debate persists, with no clear AGI threshold in sight. #AGI #AI

ARC Prize analysis: OpenAI’s o3 model scores 41-53% on ARC-AGI-1 (vs. preview’s 88%). Struggles on ARC-AGI-2 (<3% vs. human 60%). High compute costs don’t boost accuracy. Microsoft CEO Nadella slams “benchmark hacking” as AGI gap persists. #AGI #AI
OpenAI's o3 is less AGI than originally measured
A recent analysis by the ARC Prize Foundation finds that OpenAI’s o3 model delivers significantly weaker results on standardized reasoning benchmarks than its previously tested o3 preview version.
