In a Lean formalization benchmark of Fermat's Last Theorem, Opus 5.5 with 1000 agents completed only 26% in 18 hours and barely progressed after 30 (27%), while Fable 5.2 finished the full formalization in 30 hours, already at 86% by hour 18. The author's takeaway: the model itself is the most important variable. Chart shows both completion curves.
