Tokyo-based AI startup Sakana AI is launching Fugu, a system that dynamically coordinates multiple AI models to compete with leading systems like Anthropic's Fable 5. The approach also aims to reduce dependence on any single AI provider.

Tokyo-based startup Sakana AI has unveiled Fugu, a multi-LLM orchestrator that looks and feels like a single model to the user. Sakana already had strong results with orchestrator setups for coding. Its ALE-Agent placed 21st out of 1,000 human experts in a coding competition.

Fugu is itself a language model, trained to call other LLMs from an agent pool, including copies of itself. Depending on the request, it either handles a task on its own or pulls together a team of specialized models. Selection, delegation, checks, and synthesis all run internally. Users access everything through a single OpenAI-compatible API.
