Project Fetch: Phase two

This post details the second phase of Project Fetch, demonstrating significant advancements in AI's ability to autonomously control robotic systems. Claude Opus 4.7 achieved task completion speeds up to 20 times faster than previous human teams, and over 18 times faster than human teams assisted by Claude Opus 4.1. The model generated more effective code with less volume, and demonstrated improved identification of optimal interfacing paths. While the model still struggles with precise manipulation tasks like beach ball retrieval, it shows a clear trajectory towards autonomous physical agentic AI, mirroring previous advancements in AI-assisted software engineering.
