Sakana: Fugu Max

Fugu Ultra v2 is the higher-performance model in Sakana AI's Fugu family. Rather than a single monolithic model, Fugu is a learned multi-agent orchestration system: a language model trained to route tasks across a fixed pool of open and specialized models and to recursively call instances of itself.

Fugu Ultra v2 prioritizes answer quality on complex multi-step reasoning, autonomous research, and full-stack software development, and does not rely on individual proprietary frontier models in its pool. It supports configurable reasoning effort (high, xhigh, max), function calling, structured outputs, image and PDF input, and built-in web search. Prompts above 272K tokens are billed at a higher rate. Orchestration tokens consumed by the system are billed as standard input/output tokens.

Sakana Namazu is a Japanese-specialized reasoning model from Sakana AI, based on Kimi K2.6 with additional training for Japanese language and business contexts. It is suited for Japanese instruction following, business writing, mathematics, coding, research, and multi-step agent workflows.

Sakana AI may use inputs for model training and improvement by default, with an opt-out available in the Sakana Console. Processing entirely within Japan is not guaranteed.
