Viral claim: Claude runs a robot arm on a real factory task with zero training — but the model name doesn't exist

A viral post claims "Claude Fable 5.2" was given a real precision-machining factory task plus a robot arm and completed it by writing its own code — no teleop, no demos, no task-specific training, framed as "agentic robots are where physical AI starts doing real work."
Caution: no model named "Claude Fable 5.2" exists in Anthropic's lineup, and the reposter's "And they fall..." reads as skepticism. Unverified — wait for the original video and details.
