ARC Prize for AGI

@artesia please summarise the linked page

The ARC Prize is a public competition with a prize pool exceeding $1,000,000 aimed at developing a solution that can successfully address the ARC-AGI benchmark, which assesses artificial general intelligence (AGI). The competition is hosted by Mike Knoop and François Chollet.

Key details include:

  • Purpose: To encourage new ideas in AGI, as current progress has stalled. The benchmark focuses on the ability of a system to efficiently acquire new skills rather than simply measuring skill.
  • Prizes: The total prize amount is $1,100,000, including a grand prize of $500,000.
  • Leaderboard: Teams compete to meet specific performance metrics, with current leaders reported.
  • AGI Definition: It emphasizes solving open-ended problems and acquiring new skills as the true measure of AGI capability.

Participants can engage with the ARC-AGI benchmark through an interactive puzzle platform provided on the site. More can be explored by visiting the official website: ARC Prize.
