Things that keep me up at night: AI will create huge social dilemmas. No one seems to have solutions that are satisfactory. Politicians aren't even acknowledging this as a major concern.

A dark, data-dense scatterplot titled “ARC-AGI-2 LEADERBOARD.” The chart compares Score (%) on the vertical axis with Cost per Task ($) on the logarithmic horizontal axis (ranging from ~$1e-3 to ~$100). Legend • ARC Prize entries (colored markers) • Verified entries (different marker style) Main Patterns Dozens of tiny colored points cluster near the bottom left, representing low-cost models with very low scores (0–5%). A few models rise sharply as cost increases, forming curved trajectories for each model family. Highlighted Models (labeled) GPT-5.2 Series (Blue Triangles) These occupy the top-right region with the highest scores: • GPT-5.2 (X-High) — near 60%+ score at ~$10–$20 cost. • GPT-5.2 (High) — ~50–55% region. • GPT-5.2 Pro (High) — slightly below X-High, ~55–58%. • GPT-5.2 Pro (Medium) — ~45% region. • GPT-5.2 (Medium) — around ~30%. These form the steepest upward curve in the plot. GPT-5.1 / GPT-5 / Opus Series Clustered in the mid-performance band (~10–30%): • GPT-5.1 (Thinking, High) • GPT-5.1 (Thinking, 32K) • GPT-5 Pro • Opus 4.5 (Thinking, 16K) • Claude Sonnet 4.5 • Claude Opus 4 (Thinking 16K) These models sit in the central region and show moderate cost-performance scaling. Gemini Models (Green Triangles) • Gemini 3 Pro — around 25–30% score, mid-cost. • Few other Gemini family points scattered nearby. Elon Musk’s Grok (White Triangle) • Grok 4 (Refine.) — sits right of center, around 35–38% score, moderate-high cost. NVARC (Orange Triangle) • A single orange point labeled NVARC at ~22% score and ~$1–$2 cost. ⸻ Overall Insight • GPT-5.2 variants dominate, producing the highest scores but at higher cost. • Most other models cluster far lower, below 10%–30%. • The chart emphasizes how difficult ARC-AGI-2 is: even top models hover around 50–60% when cost is unconstrained. The image is visually crowded but clearly shows the frontier curve of high-performing models.

Whoa. This new GDPval score for GPT-5.2 is something.

GDPval is probably the most economically relevant measure of AI ability, suggesting that in head-to-head competition with human experts on tasks that require 4-8 hours for a human to do, GPT-5.2 wins 71% of the time as judged by other humans.
