A new research paper proposes a novel approach to achieving artificial general intelligence without traditional pretraining, framing ARC-AGI solving as a code-golfing/minimum description length (MDL) minimization problem. The method implements inference-time learning via MDL, offering a theoretically motivated path to "training-free" intelligence that could fundamentally change AGI development.
