Could you build this?
No Pushing the frontier of sample-efficient machine learning and achieving SOTA on ARC-AGI-2 is a fundamental AI research problem that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Achieving sample-efficient learning on benchmarks like ARC-AGI-2 requires developing novel neural architectures, neuro-symbolic program synthesis engines, test-time search algorithms, and custom meta-learning frameworks. Building this requires massive GPU compute clusters, deep understanding of inductive biases, formal abstraction, and active research by elite ML scientists.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
