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

We build benchmarks that reveal the gap between what's easy for humans, hard for AI
ARC-AGI has repeatedly identified inflection points in AI progress, including the emergence of reasoning systems and the rise of capable AI agents.
ARC-AGI-3 is the next step in that journey

We created an in-house game studio and built 135 novel environments from scratch
No instructions, Core Knowledge Priors-only
In order to beat these games, AI must:
• Explore the environment
• Form hypotheses
• Execute a plan
• Learn and adapt

ARC-AGI-3 is a useful research tool to analyze model behavior
Key failure modes seen in our early testing:
• Thinking it is playing another game
• Holding on to early hypothesis
• Unable to forecast into the future
Both AI + human runs have sharable replays
Watch Gemini 3.1 do well on some games, poorly on others:

ARC-AGI-3 gives us a formal measure to compare human and AI skill acquisition efficiency
Humans don’t brute force - they build mental models, test ideas, and refine quickly
How close AI is to that? (Spoiler: not close)
