Claude Fable 5 Scores 16.1% on Remote Labor Index

The Neuron · 1 week ago

Claude Fable 5 achieved a 15.8% automation rate on the Remote Labor Index, a benchmark measuring how often AI agents complete real freelance projects at client-acceptable quality across 3D design, architecture, video, and other domains. The previous benchmark leader scored 4.17% eight months ago, meaning the frontier has quadrupled in less than a year, with Fable 5 roughly double the next model (Opus 4.8 at 8.3%). Human evaluators remain necessary for assessing absolute capability, as an automated AI judge overstated newer models' performance by 2–3 times despite correctly ranking them relative to each other.
