Anthropic Launches Phase Two of Project Fetch: Claude Opus 4.7 Achieves 10x Speedup in Robotics Tasks

Anthropic has released the results of Phase Two of “Project Fetch,” evaluating the enhanced capabilities of its latest model in real-world robotic manipulation. Conducted in August 2025, the experiment tasked non-robotics-expert Anthropic employees with completing a series of complex tasks using off-the-shelf quadruped robots. Performance was compared between two conditions: “using Claude models for assistance” versus “relying solely on humans and the internet.” Results show that, under fully autonomous operation by the latest model—Claude Opus 4.7—the robot achieved significantly faster average completion times across all successfully executed tasks than the human team, with execution speed improved by at least 10×.
