Project Fetch: Phase two \ Anthropic
Results from our latest test of whether Claude can help Anthropic employees perform sophisticated robotics tasks. We found that Claude Opus 4.7, operating without human assistance, was about 20 times faster than the fastest human team at all tasks completed by participants less than a year ago.
Frontier Red Team Project Fetch: Phase two Jun 18, 2026 Michael Ilie, C. Daniel Freeman, and Kevin K. Troy In August 2025, we ran an experiment to see how much Claude could help Anthropic employees—who were not robotics experts—perform sophisticated (and amusing) tasks with an off-the-shelf robotic quadruped (henceforth, a robodog). We called this Project Fetch. We found that access to our state-of-the-art model at the time (Claude Opus 4.1) helped one team substantially outperform the other, who had to rely only on the internet and their own ingenuity. The Claude-enabled team got more done, f
