OpenAI unveiled the reasoning-focused o3 series of artificial intelligence (AI) models last month. During a live stream, the company shared the benchmark scores of the model based on internal testing. While all of the shared scores were impressive and highlighted the improved capabilities of the successor to o1, one benchmark score stood out. On the ARC-AGI benchmark, the large language model (LLM) scored 85 percent, beating the previous best score by a 30 percent margin. Interestingly, this score is also on par with what an average human scored on the test. OpenAI Scores 85 Percent on ARC-AGI Benchmark However, just because o3 scored such a high score on the test, does it mean its intelligence is equal to that of an average human? This would be easier to answer if the AI model was released in the public domain and we could test it out. Since OpenAI has not disclosed anything about the model’s architecture, training techniques, or datasets, it is difficult to conclusively claim anything. There are certain things that we do know about the …
