Deep Dive

A Reddit post was submitted by user beasthunterr69.

Key Points
  • OpenAI's o3 scored 87.5% on ARC-AGI, beating human average of 75%, but costs $20 per task in compute.
  • Reddit post by beasthunterr69 has 12k upvotes and 2,500 comments, reflecting intense AGI debate.
  • François Chollet called o3 'a serious step forward' but not AGI, citing lack of sample efficiency.

Why It Matters

If 87.5% on a reasoning benchmark is not AGI, how close are we? This debate shapes investment and safety priorities.
