arXiv:2610.13660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) is increasingly used to evaluate whether neural networks can infer task-specific transformations from few demonstrations. Recent ARC models differ in architecture, but also in broader training and evaluation protocols, including pretraining data, data augmentation, test-time setup, and optimization budgets, making conclusions about architecture benefits debatable. In this work, we study how the performance of the vision-inspired VARC and recursion-based TRM models is affected by pretraining and test-ti
