Is Test Time Training (TTT) the Road to AGI?

Nov '24 (edited) • 💬 General

"The Surprising Effectiveness of Test-Time Training for Abstract Reasoning," a paper published this month, (Nov, 2024) on Arxiv by scientists at MIT, show that an 8B paramter model can be improved to better than 50% on the ARC Challenge public test, and that SoTA models can outperform the average human on the test. The ARC text is the one benchmark test that while be straightforward for humans, although not easy in it's challenging parts, was very difficult for AI. TTT is showing a strategy to make LLMs smarter in ways that provide results more similar to how we are smart. The question becomes, does it only apply in the domain of the ARC Challenge, or is it a generally applicalble strategy which can create such significant improvements in behavior?
