vectorhacker··on OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB

vectorhacker··on Notes on OpenAI's new o1 chain-of-thought models
I'm still not convinced that it's not going through approximate reasoning chain retrieval and that's self-triggered to get more reasoning chains that will maximize it's goal.

Even with more context and documentation, it fails to realize details an experienced SWE would pick up quickly.
