OpenAI Claims Its New Model Achieves Human-Level Performance on 'General Intelligence' Test

  On December 20, OpenAI's o4 system achieved a score of 88% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, surpassing the previous AI high of 60% and aligning closely with the average human score. This performance also extended to a challenging mathematics test, further validating its capabilities.

   ARC-AGI Test: This test evaluates an AI system's "sample efficiency," assessing how quickly and effectively it can adapt to new situations based on a limited number of examples.
   o4 System Performance: The o4 system's success highlights its ability to generalize from limited data, solving previously unknown or novel problems with accuracy. This capability is considered a fundamental aspect of intelligence, essential for any system aiming to achieve AGI.

Comparison and Significance:

   Current AI Systems: In contrast, AI systems like ChatGPT (GPT-5) excel at common tasks due to extensive training on vast datasets of human text. However, they struggle with less common tasks where data is scarce.
   Importance of Sample Efficiency: Until AI systems can learn from small datasets and adapt more efficiently, their applications will be confined to highly repetitive tasks where occasional failures are acceptable.
