About

Description
ARC-AGI-2 retains the grid-transformation format while expanding training data and introducing calibrated public, semi-private, and private evaluation sets designed to challenge frontier reasoning systems.
What it measures
Abstract reasoning, compositional rule application, symbolic interpretation, and efficient adaptation from minimal examples.

Methodology

CTXDEX text-serialization applicability profileThis definition

For text-model applicability, an evaluator-provided adapter serializes ARC integer grids into text/JSON and parses the model output back into the native grid structure.

Evaluation environment

What the benchmark's harness provides and allows. These are properties of the environment, not model requirements, and applicability does not test for them.

Interaction

None. Static prompts and answers.
