Anthropic Releases Phase Two of Project Fetch: Claude Opus 4.7 Achieves 10x Speed Improvement in Robotic Tasks

Odaily Planet Daily News – Anthropic has announced the experimental results of Phase Two of 'Project Fetch,' evaluating the performance improvements of its latest model in real-world robotic operations. Conducted in August 2025, the experiment involved non-robotics-expert Anthropic employees using off-the-shelf quadruped robots to complete a series of complex tasks. The performance of 'using the Claude model for assistance' was compared to 'relying solely on humans and the internet.' Results showed that under fully autonomous operation of the latest model, Claude Opus 4.7, the average speed in completing all feasible tasks significantly surpassed that of the human team, with execution speed improving by at least 10 times. Anthropic stated that this progress was not the result of specialized training for robotics but rather an outcome of the expanded capabilities of general-purpose large models. They also noted that AI is transitioning from 'assisting humans in using tools' to the early stages of 'directly operating physical tools,' akin to the prior evolution toward agent-based programming in the field of software engineering.
