NVIDIA AVO Reaches 100% on ARC-AGI-3, Demonstrating a Frontier-Level General-Purpose Architecture for Long-Horizon Autonomous Agents

NVIDIA Developer Blog · Aug 21, 2026

NVIDIA's AVO agent architecture achieves 100% on ARC-AGI-3 benchmark.

“A frontier language model is only one component of an AI agent. The surrounding agent system—often called a harness—determines how the model receives context, uses tools, maintains state, responds to feedback, recovers from failure, and sustains progress over long-running tasks.”
