poetiq.ai — Detailed technical breakdown of how a $40K-hardware startup achieved 54% on ARC-AGI-2 (vs. Google's 45% at nearly 3x the cost). The key innovation: "learned test-time reasoning" — an iterative refinement meta-system where solutions are generated, receive structured feedback, and self-improve through multiple loops. Crucially, this is LLM-agnostic and works across OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI models. The meta-system IS the intelligence, not the underlying model. Symbolica's parallel work (85.28% with recursive delegation) confirms the pattern independently.
