ARC-AGI-2 Leaderboard
ARC-AGI-2 is the second-generation ARC Prize puzzle set, rebuilt so that tasks solved by brute-force search or memorization were removed and every problem still requires inferring a novel rule from a handful of examples. It is markedly harder than the original ARC-AGI, and most models — open and closed alike — score near zero.

Score vs model size
Which models give the most quality for their size — the ones worth running locally.
- Magistral Small 2506, 24B, score 0.0% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- MiniMax M2.5, 229B, score 4.9% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- Inkling Small, 266B, score 40.1% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
- DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, 304B, score 61.4% — on the efficiency frontier (best score at its size or smaller).
ARC-AGI-2: frequently asked questions
- What is the best open LLM on ARC-AGI-2?
- DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 is the top open model on ARC-AGI-2, scoring 61.4%. Among all models tested — including proprietary ones — it ranks #49. The top model overall is GPT 6 Astra Max (OpenAI) at 95.0%.
- What's the best ARC-AGI-2 model you can run on a 24 GB GPU?
- Magistral Small 2506 is the highest-scoring open model that fits in 24 GB at 4-bit quantization (about 13 GB), scoring 0.0% on ARC-AGI-2.
- Can open models match proprietary models on ARC-AGI-2?
- Not quite on ARC-AGI-2: the strongest proprietary model (GPT 6 Astra Max) scores 95.0%, ahead of the best open model (DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731) at 61.4% — but you can run the open one yourself.
