AI CAN NOW LOOK AT A PHOTO OF YOUR HALF-BUILT IKEA SHELF AND TELL YOU WHICH STEP YOU MESSED UP Epoch just released the Furniture Assembly Benchmark the model gets the instruction PDF and one photo of a half-assembled piece. it has to find the wrong step and explain the mistake, or say nothing is wrong november 2025: best score 28% (Claude Opus 4.5) today: 80% (GPT-6 Astra) 10 months. +52 points Fable 5.1 is at 70%. Opus 5 at 61% sounds like a toy. its not this is the exact skill a robot is missing. read the manual, look at the real world, notice that reality doesnt match the plan coding benchmarks tell you what happens on a screen. this one tells you how close AI is to your living room to be fair, its a small test. 60 photos, 3 IKEA products, and the grader is another model. i wouldnt bet a house on the exact number but the slope matters more than the size the scariest part is the speed. 28 to 80 in under a year, and almost nobody was watching this chart personally, this is the one that moved my timeline. i always thought robots in the house were a 2030s thing. a model that can check physical work against instructions 8 times out of 10 means the brain half is basically there hands are next
