A new name in the first ten

Son & Mark & Ronen climbed from 20th at the midnight baseline to seventh on the observed ARC-AGI-3 board, lifting their public score from 35.45 to 39.24. The team now sits just behind the last dance and NVARC3. That is the sharpest change near the leaders overnight; it does not settle where the team will stand after other submissions finish evaluating.

The leader still sets the mark

Yi-Chia Chen remains first at 62.96, ahead of Tufa Labs at 56.52. Chen’s verified Kaggle account is threerabbits, listed on this ARC-AGI-3 team and a separate ARC-AGI-2 entry. Tufa has a roster in both contests too, but the two leaderboards measure different races.

The chase has layers

Behind Tufa, mtg stands third at 45, Majkel1337 fourth at 42.66 and NVARC3 fifth at 40.97. The last dance holds sixth at 39.30, only a narrow step above the overnight climber. NVARC3’s observed roster includes Jean-François Puget and Ivan Sorokin, the credited members of the 2025 champion NVARC; the 2026 entry has its own team ID and current result.
