Think Visually, Reason Textually: Vision-Language Synergy in ARC
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus for Artificial General Intelligence (ARC-AGI) presents a challenge for advanced models like GPT-5 and Grok 4, which struggle with abstract reasoning from minimal examples. Current approaches often treat ARC-AGI as a textual task, neglecting the visual abstraction humans utilize. Initial experiments indicate that simply converting ARC-AGI grids to images can hinder performance, suggesting a need for a synergy between visual and textual reasoning.
