abstract
We introduce ARC-AGI-3, an interactive benchmark for studying agentic intelligence through novel, abstract, turn-based environments in which agents must explore, infer goals, build internal models of environment dynamics, and plan effective action sequences without explicit instructions. Like its predecessors ARC-AGI-1 and 2, ARC-AGI-3 focuses entirely on evaluating fluid adaptive efficiency on novel tasks, while avoiding language and external knowledge. ARC-AGI-3 environments only leverage Core Knowledge priors and are difficulty-calibrated via extensive testing with human test-takers. Our testing shows humans can solve 100% of the environments, in contrast to frontier AI systems which, as of March 2026, score below 1%. In this paper, we present the benchmark design, its efficiency-based scoring framework grounded in human action baselines, and the methodology used to construct, validate, and calibrate the environments.

MAP improves LLM agent reasoning by constructing a structured cognitive map of the environment before task execution, yielding performance gains on benchmarks like ARC-AGI-3 and superior training data via the new MAP-2K dataset.
Learns state-conditioned commitment depth in a 7B vision-language policy that jointly predicts actions and replan intervals, outperforming fixed-depth baselines and larger models on Sliding Puzzle and Sokoban while providing a theoretical dominance result.
Structured Recurrent Mixers enable algebraic switching between parallel training and recurrent inference representations, yielding higher throughput, concurrency, and training efficiency than comparable linear-complexity models on language tasks.
Frontier LRMs match human game-learning behavior and predict fMRI signals an order of magnitude better than RL or Bayesian agents because of their in-context game-state representations.
Odysseus adapts PPO with a turn-level critic and leverages pretrained VLM action priors to train agents achieving at least 3x average game progress over frontier models in long-horizon Super Mario Land.
The paper organizes research on generalist game AI into Dataset, Model, Harness, and Benchmark pillars and charts a five-level progression from single-game mastery to agents that create and live inside game multiverses.
LLMs fail at extended counting of repeated characters due to finite internal states, with abrupt errors persisting across model scales and inference methods.
