Chollet: ARC-AGI-4 lands Q1 2027, and solving ARC-3 is not AGI
fchollet · x · 2026-09-04
François Chollet argues benchmarking co-evolves with models: new benchmarks shape research directions and keep targeting the residual gap between AI and human intelligence.
- He explicitly rejects the claim that saturating ARC-3 proves AGI: it tests the right qualitative properties but is not a finish line
- Work on ARC-AGI-4, started after ARC-AGI-3's release this year, is targeted for Q1 2027 — "it's going to be really special"
