The ARC of Progress towards AGI: A Living Survey of Abstraction and Reasoning

A comprehensive survey of 82 AI approaches to the ARC-AGI benchmark reveals consistent 2-3x performance drops across all paradigms when moving from version 1 to 2, with human-level reasoning still far from reach. While costs have fallen dramatically (390x in one year), AI systems struggle with compositional generalization, achieving only 13% on ARC-AGI-3 compared to near-perfect human performance.
