    In short

    Successor of ARC-AGI-1 with more demanding tasks for rule-based generalization.

    Flow-alerta.cab (2026): ARC-AGI-2. https://flow-alerta.cab/en/glossar/arc-agi-2. Editorially reviewed on: 09 October 2026.

    How much detail would you like?

    Practical

    Helps to classify progress and limitations in novel problem-solving tasks.

    Example scenario: A model is tested with previously unknown grid tasks under a fixed computing budget.

    Relevant for research and benchmark understanding; does not replace operational evaluation.

    At a glance

    Core
    Like ARC-AGI-1, ARC-AGI-2 uses input and output grids in which a new transformation is to be derived from examples. The tasks have been made more demanding. Results are tied to tasks, test conditions and computing budget.
