Giotto.ai has made headlines in the AI community by securing the top position in the global ARC‑AGI‑2 reasoning competition, achieving a remarkable score of 22.36%. This score not only surpasses that of significant competitors but also validates Giotto.ai’s proprietary deep reasoning architecture, which aims to pave the way for stronger European alternatives to existing U.S. foundation models.
The Abstract and Reasoning Corpus for Artificial General Intelligence (ARC-AGI) serves as the premier benchmark for evaluating progress towards general intelligence in AI. Launched by François Chollet, the creator of the widely used Keras framework, the competition assesses intelligence based on the ability to acquire skills across a variety of unfamiliar tasks. This year marks the second iteration of the competition, with final results expected by the end of 2025.
Giotto.ai’s successful performance can be attributed to its innovative reasoning core, which enhances the performance and accuracy of transformer models through advanced techniques in test-time computation, decoding, and program synthesis. This achievement coincides with a growing demand for European-compliant AI solutions, crucial for enterprise adoption.
Looking ahead, Giotto.ai plans to expand its research team to further develop its AI reasoning capabilities and prepare for a product launch in 2026. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company will release a detailed technical report on the ARC‑AGI‑2 methodology, along with a public white paper outlining the foundational technology behind Giotto Reasoning. Early in 2026, partnerships for initial industry pilots will be shortlisted, allowing Giotto.ai to pioneer the deployment of a production-grade sovereign AGI tailored for EU enterprises and public-sector partners.
Giotto.ai differentiates itself by developing technology designed to adapt and learn autonomously, mirroring human reasoning processes. This capability not only boosts performance but is also centered around societal transformation through real-time learning and the understanding of unforeseen contexts.
Aldo Podestà, the Co-Founder and CEO of Giotto.ai, stated, “Our ARC‑AGI‑2 score demonstrates that Europe can deliver GPT-class reasoning models while upholding strict ethical and sovereignty standards. Beating global competitors on ARC‑AGI‑2 proves that Europe can lead in deep reasoning, not just compliance.”
Founded in 2017, Giotto.ai is an AI research lab based in Switzerland with a multinational team. The company is dedicated to developing leading reasoning architectures and has attained a significant milestone by achieving the top score in the 2025 ARC‑AGI‑2 competition, confirming its expertise in advanced reasoning systems.
