📌 About the Event
ARC Prize 2026 – ARC-AGI-3 is an AI competition that challenges participants to build intelligent agents capable of learning and adapting to unfamiliar interactive environments. Unlike conventional reasoning benchmarks based on static puzzles, ARC-AGI-3 evaluates exploration, planning, goal-setting, and problem-solving through game-like tasks. Participants develop and submit AI solutions through Kaggle, contributing to open-source research on artificial general intelligence.
