Anthropic uses Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 for million-line code migrations

Anthropic reported that individual developers migrated ten large code packages with Fable 5, Opus 4.8 and agentic workflows. One effort produced a million lines of Rust in under two weeks with the full existing test suite passing before merge; another converted a codebase to 165,000 lines of TypeScript over a weekend using hundreds of agents and staged adversarial review.
