alt Hacker NewsI am really confused on how it can saturate ARC-AGI but still perform poorly on aggregated benchmarks:

Perhaps if it was allowed this custom harness for all benchmarks it would similarily saturate?

They're gaming benchmarks HTH
This benchmark gives the same intelligence score for GPT-6 Astra (max), GPT-5.6 Sol (max), and Grok 4.6 (high)? That seems very wrong to me, unless I'm misinterpreting the visualizations.
The most straightforward answer is that despite efforts to design a benchmark that, in theory, is supposed to measure generalizable intelligence, performance on ARC-AGI-3 can't be reliably correlated to performance anywhere else. I kind of lost faith in it after o1 or o3, I can't remember which, absolutely crushed ARC-AGI-1.
And, you know, maybe also some funny business. I think it's good to be a little suspicious of a model that happens to shoot upwards in performance on a specific benchmark while also kind of keeping up with the pack on a bunch of other benchmarks.
Idk, they’re trying to sell a $500/mo/seat service to tell you what model is best. I think it’s in their interest to keep it confusing and opaque. Not exactly independent.
