ARC Task Gen Targets ARC-AGI Contamination
Pathway’s open-source ARC Task Gen creates fresh ARC-AGI-1-style puzzles by matching the public benchmark’s measurable distribution, then filters malformed, duplicate, and overly similar tasks. Outputs remain compatible with standard ARC evaluation harnesses.
ARC Task Gen addresses a real weakness in public benchmarks: models may memorize widely circulated evaluation tasks. Its private, distribution-matched sets are promising, but synthetic benchmark quality still depends heavily on model-generated rules and human validation.
- –Samples grid sizes, colors, and train/test pair counts jointly from the 400-task ARC-AGI-1 evaluation set
- –Uses semantic embeddings to remove near-duplicates and tasks too similar to known evaluation examples
- –Supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including local vLLM, Ollama, and LM Studio deployments
- –Standard ARC JSON output makes integration with existing solvers straightforward
- –Solvability is not programmatically verified, and rule-description-based deduplication can miss differently worded duplicates
