Fable 5.2 tops GDPx chip-design benchmark, but task authors see zero gains

SemiAnalysis released GDPx, an AI benchmark for chip design, about a week ago, with design tasks contributed by Ergodex Labs. Fable 5.2 debuted at the top of the GDPx leaderboard scoring 16.4%.
However, Ergodex Labs notes the overall chip-design score moved a lot, yet their own tasks saw no gains — the improvement came from elsewhere. Their takeaway: AI for chip design still has a long way to go.
