ARC Prize reports power-curve link between ARC-AGI-1 and ARC-AGI-2 model scores
Overview
ARC Prize says ARC-AGI-1, ARC-AGI-2 and ARC-AGI-3 scores show a natural progression in model capability, and lists the scores on its leaderboard at arcprize.org/leaderboard.
In an analysis of ARC-AGI-2 scores, it says a power curve, v2 = v1^4.53, explains about 98% of the variation in ARC-AGI-2 scores from ARC-AGI-1 scores. It also says models tied on ARC-AGI-1 can still differ by more than 20 percentage points on ARC-AGI-2.
Mike Knoop says the science of AI evals is still nascent, citing the same ARC Prize power-curve fit and score gap as evidence.

Mike Knoop@mikeknoopXMike Knoop says the science of AI evals is still nascentAIMike Knoop says the science of evals is quite nascent given how important they are. The post cites ARC Prize data showing a power-curve fit of ARC-AGI-2 scores from ARC-AGI-1 scores (v2 = v1^4.53) explaining about 98% of the variation. Models tied on ARC-AGI-1 can still differ by over 20 percentage points on ARC-AGI-2.
