ARC Prize 2025

Ongoing attempt at the ARC-AGI benchmark — a pipeline-based approach to program synthesis, symmetry reasoning, and abstraction discovery.

Status: work in progress.

Iterating on a pipeline-oriented approach to the ARC-AGI benchmark — the François Chollet-authored test suite that requires solving novel visual reasoning puzzles from a handful of training examples each. ARC resists the standard deep-learning playbook because every task is effectively out-of-distribution.

Architecture

Built as a series of staged pipelines, each refining the previous. Core components include:

  • Symmetry and transformation inference — detect rotational, reflective, and color-permutation structure across training pairs before attempting synthesis.
  • Multi-phase candidate generation — symbolic rule proposals, program-space search, and learned priors running in parallel.
  • Solution scoring — IoU and exact-match metrics on held-out grids; calibration against ARC evaluation solutions.

Current pipeline is at iteration 11 with multiple checkpoint directories per experimental phase.

What’s still open

  • Wiring the symmetry detector to the full candidate proposer cleanly.
  • Coverage gaps on tasks that require novel primitive composition.
  • Establishing a reliable in-distribution validation split that tracks Kaggle leaderboard behavior.

Repo is local while the architecture is still in flux.
