- Fable 5.2 completed 99 of 240 real freelance projects, judged by three human reviewers (majority vote) as at least as good as the professional's reference work.
- Tasks are real paid projects spanning software development, architecture and data analysis; agents get the original brief and files.
- The dataset keeps 230 projects private with only 10 public, limiting benchmaxxing.
- At this pace the author expects the benchmark to saturate around 2027, calling it evidence that most US white-collar labor could be automated within 5 years.
