Fable Agent Achieves 30x Speedup in Code Repos

doodlestein · x · 2026-07-11

The author likens this experience to an **ASI treadmill** following the "hedonic treadmill": after Fable agents autonomously ran tasks in code repositories and boosted "square clustering" performance by **30x** in their FrankenNetworkX project, he started becoming desensitized to such results, naturally expecting even higher gains. His core takeaways are: - These agents' capabilities are now so advanced that they no longer shock people; - What was previously considered "unthinkable" has now become the new default expectation; - From the worldview of most people 15 years ago, all of this still feels incredibly counterintuitive.
