Humans score 85%; models stayed below 5% for years. Benchmark: A benchmark is a standardized test that scores models on a fixed task, letting you compare them on equal footing. MMLU, HumanEval, and HELM are common examples.
When should I use ARC-AGI vs Benchmark?
ARC-AGI is the right concept when you are focused on evaluation. Benchmark applies when you are focused on evaluation.
Are ARC-AGI and Benchmark the same thing?
No. ARC-AGI is evaluation; Benchmark is evaluation. They are related but address different parts of the AI stack.
