A challenger closes on gold

Abstraction Lab & MindsAI supplied the strongest late overnight move in the observed ARC-AGI-3 feed: a score event took it from 33.78 and 78th to 37.83 and 23rd. That recorded result sits 0.37 below the closing provisional gold score of 38.20. It brings the entry closer to the medal boundary without putting it inside it. The event is an observed step, not a certified net gain across the whole night.

The front stays fixed

Tufa Labs leads at 68.91, with Yi-Chia Chen second at 67.77 and Team Turducken third at 52.82. None of those three changed score against the midnight comparison. Chen remains 1.14 behind Tufa; the overnight advance below them has not altered that contest for first.
