AGI Research
Inpiring Open Source Progress
Welcome, AI researchers!
If you're an undergrad, graduate, PhD student, or simply curious about the frontiers of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the ARC Prize and Foundation invites you to join one of the most impactful and exciting research communities today.
Technical Guide
Learn the ARC-AGI task format, evaluation criteria, and how to build and submit your solutions.
Research Grants
Need funding to support your research? We may be able to help.
Partner Resources
Our partners offer compute credits and tools to help enable your ARC-AGI research.
Why Research ARC-AGI?
Artificial General Intelligence represents potentially the most transformative breakthrough in human history - AI capable of inventing, reasoning, and discovering alongside us. At the ARC Prize Foundation, our benchmarks highlight the critical gap between what is "feasible for humans" and "hard for AI," guiding researchers toward genuinely generalizable solutions rather than superficial performance improvements.
Your research into ARC-AGI directly influences the future of AI development. By contributing, you'll help guide global AI research and gain recognition from top academic institutions and industry leaders.
Get Started with ARC-AGI
Begin your journey by understanding the foundations laid out by François Chollet’s influential paper, ”On the Measure of Intelligence”. Next, familiarize yourself with the ARC datasets - starting with the ARC-AGI-1 public training set, featuring 400 tasks ideal for initial experimentation. When you feel ready to progress, explore the more advanced ARC-AGI-2 benchmark, designed explicitly to emphasize deeper abstraction and generalization.
Learn from Researchers Who’ve Made an Impact
The ARC Prize 2024 competitions inspired novel research, resulting in over 40 papers submitted. Featured in 2024 was Test Time Tuning, an inference time compute variant.
ARC-AGI researchers frequently gain public visibility, with their work featured in renowned media outlets such as Nature, Time, New Scientist, and Forbes. Previous researchers were covered by Machine Learning Street Talk.
