Claude Fable 5.2: Almost AGI, Still Jagged
An analysis characterizes Anthropic's Fable 5.2 as "Jagged AGI": the model reaches expert level on select tasks such as game design but lacks self-directed judgment and taste.

š„ What happened
Ethan Mollick tested Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5.2 pre-launch. It hacked a USB keyboard into a game console, drafted a business plan, and reconstructed a legendary college course ā all from single prompts.
š” Why it matters
Fable 5.2 hits expert level in many domains but fails at running a business independently. Mollick calls it "Jagged AGI": nearly general, yet with unpredictable gaps ā a shift from fixing errors to exercising real judgment.
ā” Our take
Celebrating a model as "almost AGI" because it builds games from a prompt should also ask why it pitches a business plan with only a 20ā40% success rate. The jaggedness isn't the problem ā the confidence is.
