ARC Prize Launches Verified Program to Certify ARC-AGI Benchmark Scores

ARC Prize Foundation announced ARC Prize Verified, a program that certifies frontier model scores on the ARC-AGI benchmark using hidden test sets and adds a third-party academic panel to audit and open-source its testing process.

Five AI labs, including Google and xAI, are sponsoring ARC-AGI-3 development, and the foundation says donations do not influence verification scoring. Models that pass verification will appear on the official leaderboard with a verification badge.
