Two top models did a six-month project in a week: pipeline, test data and 1,000s of checks

Fable and GPT-5.6 at max effort did a task that would have been a near 6-month project in a week, building a data capture pipeline, a synthetic data baseline, and building and testing 100 classification model variants with near-SOTA results.

How it works

  1. Two top models work at max effort
  2. Build a data capture pipeline and a synthetic data baseline
  3. Build and test at scale
  4. A near six-month project lands in a week

Why it’s worth knowing

Six months to a week is the kind of compression that changes what gets attempted.
