This should be normalised and expected - the responses API harness allows it to use the custom compaction that is not allowed otherwise. It is entirely fair to allow OpenAI to use their own compaction algorithm..

"This should be allowed, let me explain the reason they cheated and state again that they should be allowed to cheat."

    > Going forward, we will report both Standard harness and Provider Adapter harness results on the ARC-AGI leaderboard, with each evaluation condition clearly labeled. Our open-source testing repository and testing policy document both approaches.

    This is what the Author of the benchmark has to stay. Quality of the comments keep going down smh

    • "Going forward we will capitulate and still try to keep the integrity of our benchmark in tact, but from now on every benchmark will be compromised with providers being able tweak things sufficiently to game at least a 30% bump in results."
