Latest update (11-10 02:49): indigo says coding and tool-using LLMs are absorbing robot model work

Overview: Indigo (@indigox) says companies building robot models face pressure from LLMs that can write code and use tools, which he calls an absorbing force. In a post on X, he quotes Claude's account that Fable 5.2 improved at controlling physical robots, outperforming other models and most robot-control systems on the simulated two-arm RoboDojo benchmark. The post does not give benchmark scores, and the claim about Fable 5.2 comes from Claude's account as quoted by Indigo, not from an independent evaluation.
