So um I think there's a very interesting point that like

You know, uh we we kind of moved from this regime where people are claiming, oh, we're just gonna scale up language models, right?

More data and more parameters working to HGI.

And people realize I think that's not quite the story now.

And then there's a new story that's emerged over the last like five months, which is oh, we're gonna scale up this test and compute, and that's gonna get us to AGI.

And I think what V2 shows is that that's not quite either.

We we still need some structural new ideas in order to like get to a regime where we can scale up to actually reach human performance on this stuff.

I gotta say thank you to Nat Freeman.

You talk about the Posebes challenge.

Of course, literally, I was very inspired by uh what they were able to accomplish.

And that was one of the motivations for actually running the prize in the way we did.

Um, I think, yes, part of the goal of running our prize was to r specifically to try and reach independent researchers and teams and like give them

a problem to work on that they could actually make meaningful frontier progress on.

Right.

I think the especially in academia in the last maybe five years, there's been this disheartening belief of like, hey, can we really

advance the frontier because like you you have to have this you know billions of dollars in funding to scale up these language models.

And I think ARC shows that like yeah there actually are frontier problems that are unsolved that individual people and individual teams can actually make a difference on today.

Um you know that part of our whole goal of launching Archpriser was re-inspire a lot of independent researchers to work on things like this and bring new ideas to the fold.

Yeah.
