While we’re all focused on Claude Fable 5.2’s coding abilities, its work in science and engineering has received far less attention. Anthropic has made insane steps and solved crazy hard problems that many missed: - Hardware: Fable 5.2 designed three electronic devices from short prompts, including their circuit boards, enclosures and software. Partner Diode built them, and all three worked without changes to their circuitry. - Gene therapy research: Mythos 5.2 developed a method to model the complex protein shells of viruses used to deliver gene therapies. In Anthropic’s test, it accurately modeled 28 out of 34. - Chemistry: An early version of Mythos 5.2 planned ways to synthesize complex molecules. Three chemists rated the work around the level of an early PhD student. - Physics: Anthropic says Fable 5.2 solved two open theoretical physics problems involving black holes. The results have been published as preprints. - Materials science: Discovered Materials says Fable 5.2 made a calculation used to check material stability 36 times faster on average. Across 13 test cases, the total time fell from 3.3 hours to under four minutes. - Robotics: In Anthropic’s simulated RoboDojo test, Fable 5.2 achieved a 64.9% average success rate, up from 27.6% for Fable 5.1. So yeah, this is nuts. And at the same time thats why we need to accelerate. AI helps us solve problems in *ever* scientific field. And yet, we are still in 2026, and this is still the beginning. Fable 5.2 shows us where we are heading. And 2027 is going to nuts.
