Anthropic announces Project Fetch Phase Two: Claude Opus 4.7 speeds up robot tasks by 10 times

Deep Tide TechFlow News: On June 19, Anthropic released the experimental results for the second phase of “Project Fetch,” assessing improvements in its latest model’s ability to operate real robots. The experiment was conducted in August 2025. Researchers had Anthropic employees who were not robot experts use off-the-shelf quadruped robots to complete a series of complex tasks, comparing performance between “using Claude model assistance” and “relying solely on humans and the internet.” The results showed that under the latest model’s fully autonomous operation, Claude Opus 4.7 averaged a significantly faster speed across all tasks it could complete than human teams, with execution speed at least 10 times higher.

Anthropic said this progress was not the result of specialized robot training, but rather an extension of general large-model capabilities. It also noted that AI is moving from the early stage of “assisting humans in using tools” toward “directly operating physical tools,” similar to the path of evolution from software engineering to agent-based programming.
