Sakana Fugu

The keys to this being usable will be latency and price/usage. Fugu standard performs at the level of currently available frontier models; fugu ultra performs better, but if it costs the same as fable and/or takes an inordinate amount of time to receive a response I don’t see people going for it.

The 'dynamically orchestrates the world's best models' angle is genuinely interesting coming from Sakana - you've already shown that combining models can beat single-model approaches on specific tasks. Curious whether the orchestration decisions are fixed routing rules or if there's an adaptive layer that learns from task outcomes over time. Also wondering if there's cost/latency budgeting exposed in the API - so a workflow can say 'optimize for speed under $X per 1k tokens' rather than just defaulting to max performance.

Way too expensive. Have not tried it, but why would I if it's at price level with Claude, which is already the best, why bother?

Looks amazing! What about prompt caching? Should the overall model cost increase significantly?

Wow, Japan enters the AI space with a big leap :)

The single API part is the real hook for me. Multi-agent systems usually sound powerful until the integration starts feeling like a project of its own.

Hey Hunters! I’m excited to hunt Sakana Fugu today — a powerful new AI orchestration system from Japan 🇯🇵 that brings the capabilities of a full multi-agent team behind a single API endpoint.Instead of relying on one giant model, Fugu intelligently coordinates multiple AI models and agents to solve complex tasks, handling model selection, delegation, verification, and synthesis automatically. The result is frontier-level performance while keeping the developer experience as simple as calling a single model.🐡 What makes Fugu interesting?• Multi-agent orchestration behind one OpenAI-compatible API• Routes tasks to the most suitable models automatically• Recursive agent coordination for difficult, multi-step problems• Built-in resilience against vendor lock-in and model access restrictions• Available in two versions: Fugu (speed-focused) and Fugu Ultra (maximum capability)Whether you're building coding assistants, research tools, cybersecurity workflows, or advanced AI applications, Fugu aims to give you the power of an entire AI team without the orchestration complexity.Congratulations to the Sakana AI team on the launch! 🇯🇵🚀What would you build with a model that can orchestrate other models for you?
