Community Partners
Credits, tooling, and support for ARC-AGI teams
Our goal is to support the research community in the pursuit of general intelligence. We partner with companies to offer compute credits, model access, productivity tools, and grant opportunities that help ARC Prize teams move faster.
Below is the current ecosystem supporting ARC Prize 2025 participants. If you'd like to partner with us or suggest someone we should add, please reach out at team@arcprize.org.
