Peter Wildeford highlights that Mythos 5.2 completes 41% of tasks on the Remote Labor Index (RLI), notable because RLI consists of very hard expert-level freelance tasks.
Comparison:
- Mythos 5.2: 41%
- Fable 5: 16%
- Opus 4.8: 8%
The jump from 8% to 41% signals rapid progress on monetizable expert-level remote work, with direct implications for knowledge-work employment.
