Zapier's new unified copilot can build entire "apps" now' And those apps can use nearly 500 AI-native tools like Fathom, Perplexity, Otter, BrowseAI, Granola, HeyGen, any MCP connector, and more.

ARC Prize @ MIT - Sept 27, 2025 Measuring Intelligence with Interactive Benchmarks Join us live in Boston to hear a conversation from @fchollet, @mikeknoop, @GregKamradt, Josh Tenenbaum, Laura Schulz, @gershbrain, @jacobandreas and @JunyiChu
Some more: - Theory of change (conceptual grounding) - Iterative development with empirical testing - Measure of generality in test set (all benchmarks have some training overlap, even ARC) - Funding for maintenance and independence - Many authors to boost creativity / diversity

Agree strongly on principle. Historical evidence shows bad outcomes when when powerful technology is centralized with few checks/balances or accountability.

Come help build ARC 3!
My first ever trip to DC -- goal is to help inform benchmarking standards established by the AI Action Plan and show how evals can be used as policy tools to drive innovation, not just mitigate risk.

Serious inquiry. LLMs are models of language they're trained on. How much does published research/discussion on scheming causing a feedback loop? Can we ablate the training away? I'm sure this is not original thought as seems like obvious thing to try.

GEPA and DSPy example for ARC-AGI
The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book…
Code (and math to a lesser degree) were the first domains to receive obsessive attention from AI labs for training AI reasoning process models. No new science is required to replicate this in other automatable domains, it is merely a function of will.

Two Months left to submit a paper to ARC Prize 2025 $75,000 in our Paper Prize Recent paper that uses ARC-AGI: General Symbolics, a proposed reasoning method that adds a “reasoning layer” on top of AI models for tasks like coding, planning, and tool use
Zapier MCP in ChatGPT!
Francois and I will be discussing ARC v3 game design. Join us!
Impressive. Paying attention to the coding agent frontier progress is a good early canary for how the rest of "RL process model training" is going to play out.

What's the difference between an AI eval and an RL environment?
All companies have AI evals. But some are more coarse than others (customer retention/churn).
