Arc AGI 1 400/400 No LLM running on my MacBook

A Hacker News user posting as 5CEOs claims to have solved all 400 puzzles of the ARC AGI 1 benchmark in around 2 minutes on a Mac M1 without using an LLM. The post, submitted 16 minutes before the snapshot, states "No prize for us not sharing our IP" and provides no code, method, or reproducible evidence. The claim, if verified, would mark a 400/400 result on the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus benchmark that has drawn attention as a test of general reasoning.
