By Zimbo · October 26, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a smug robot wearing a gold 99.9% paper crown stands at a measuring board while a tiny examiner in a coat marked INDEPENDENT TEST holds a ruler to its head at a red 62.7% mark, beside a deflated balloon reading AGI HAS ARRIVED.
The ARC Prize Foundation reran OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on its own ARC-AGI-3 benchmark and scored it at 62.7% under its standard, provider-neutral harness — not the 99.9% OpenAI put front and centre at launch.Zimbo for AI News Page
