It's easy to miss, but if you look closely at the first sentence of the announcement they mention that they used a version of o3 trained on a public dataset of ARC-AGI, so technically it doesn't belong on this list.

It's all scam. ClosedAI trained on the data they were tested on, so no, nothing here is impressive.

Just a clarification, they tuned on the public training dataset, not the semi-private one. The 87.5% score was on the semi-private eval, which means the model was still able to generalize well.

That being said, the fact that this is not a "raw" base model, but one tuned on the ARC-AGI tests distribution takes away from the impressiveness of the result — How much ? — I'm not sure, we'd need the un-tuned base o3 model score for that.

In the meantime, comparing this tuned o3 model to other un-tuned base models is unfair (apples-to-oranges kind of comparison).

They definitely did or they probably did? Is there any source for that just so I can point It out to people?

I'd love to know how Claude 3.5 Sonnet does so well despite (presumably) not having the same tricks as the o-series models.
