So meaning it’s going to need basically the same amount of training data and training compute as a human would… which is very little.

It’s about how quickly and efficiently it can *acquire brand-new skills* in a completely unfamiliar domain — using roughly the same tiny amount of experience and compute that a human would need.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>A human can watch a few examples of a new game, a new programming paradigm, or a new scientific problem and start making progress almost immediately.

The latter — true AGI — demands a fundamentally different kind of architecture: one that treats learning as efficient program synthesis rather than curve-fitting on internet-scale corpora.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>This is exactly why he built the ARC-AGI benchmark: not as another “can it pass this test?” leaderboard, but as a direct probe for this kind of fluid, data-efficient intelligence on tasks specifically designed to be outside any training distribution.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/openai-workspace-agents-catching-up-to-claude-with-cloud-powered-team-agents-that-actually-work-where-you-do\">OpenAI Workspace Agents: Catching Up to Claude with Cloud-Powered Team Agents That Actually Work Where You Do\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/google-ai-studio-just-went-pro-one-subscription-real-api-power-finally\">Google AI Studio Just Went Pro: One Subscription, Real API Power — Finally\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/openai-privacy-filter-the-quietly-released-pii-guardian-that-finally-solves-enterprise-data-leakage\">OpenAI Privacy Filter: The Quietly Released PII Guardian That Finally Solves Enterprise Data Leakage\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/chatgpt-images-2-0-openai-s-new-image-model-just-redefined-what-s-possible\">ChatGPT Images 2.0: OpenAI’s New Image Model Just Redefined What’s Possible\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>The Takeaway\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture>\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/0001/image-2026-04-23t180515940.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"François Chollet’s Radical New Definition of AGI: It’s Not About Automation — It’s About Human-Like Skill Acquisition\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"343\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/0001/image-2026-04-23t180515940.jpg\" width=\"230\" />\u003C/picture>Chollet isn’t saying current models aren’t impressive or useful.
