Japan’s Sakana Fugu is here to challenge Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, and help build sovereign AI

While Dario Amodei and his team of geniuses have been busy untangling the regulatory mess gifted to them by the US authorities, things are brewing in Japan’s AI industry. Tokyo’s Sakana AI – a startup – has created something that’s essentially as capable as the best that the West has to offer. Meet Fugu – Japan’s take on the likes of Claude Mythos and the conventional mighty AI models in general.

Fugu is a unified multi-agent orchestration system designed to achieve frontier-level AI performance. Sakana, however, has built an agile AI orchestra instead of building another monolithic mega-model. Unlike the models of the West, this one is all about a multi-model orchestrator.
