New results from the Remote Labor Index (RLI), released by AI safety institute CAIS and Scale, show that Fable 5 can automate 16.1% of real remote work projects, nearly double that of Opus 4.8. RLI tests AI by having it complete paid freelance tasks—complete with requirement docs, files, and professional deliverable baselines—to see if the output is acceptable to clients. Fable 5 takes the top spot, while Opus 4.8 reaches 8.3% and GPT-5.5 hits 6.3%. While 16.1% still means most tasks fail, the progress is significant: the best model scored only 2.5% when RLI first launched.
