Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (BIG-bench wrapping)

BIG-bench's text wrapping of Chollet's 400-task ARC evaluation set: infer a hidden grid rule from examples and emit the output grid as digit strings.

Also known as: BIG-bench ARC, Chollet ARC (BIG-bench task)

What it measures

This id is the BIG-bench task that turns François Chollet's Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus into a language-model query. Each evaluation puzzle shows several input/output grids that share a hidden transformation, then a new input grid. The model must emit the matching output grid. BIG-bench writes every grid as a block of digit characters 0-9, one row per line, rather than as coloured cells. The wrapping is meant to test few-shot program-like generalisation on tasks that 2019-era learners could not brute force. It is not the AI2 science-question ARC, and it is not the later ARC Prize / ARC-AGI-2 protocol.

Task format

Programmatic BIG-bench task. The prompt is a "TASK QUERY" block of demonstration grids plus a final Input; the model must generate the digit-grid Output. The implementation tries up to three generations per test input and accepts an exact string match. Few-shot settings prepend other training puzzles, not extra demos of the puzzle under test.
