Introducing Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2: Orchestrating the Pareto Frontier The AI industry has spent a decade optimizing along a single axis: build bigger, more expensive models. But intelligence has never been a monolith. It is a collective, distributed system. Humanity itself is a collective intelligence. We built Sakana Fugu on this conviction: the most powerful AI systems will not be isolated giants, but collaborative ecosystems that learn to coordinate. Evolution innovates under constraints, and the future belongs to systems that know not just how to solve a problem, but which machinery to deploy for the lowest possible cost. Today we are releasing Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2. Fugu Max expands the Pareto frontier outward, orchestrating our largest pool of open and specialized models to deliver frontier-grade results at a fraction of the token spend. Fugu Ultra v2 pushes that frontier upward, achieving peak performance on complex multi-step tasks without depending on the very frontier models it competes against. Together, they show that orchestration does not force a choice between cost and performance. It can push both at the same time, advancing the Pareto frontier. Relying on a single company’s model for critical infrastructure is a massive risk. As recent export controls have shown, access can disappear overnight. Collective intelligence is the practical hedge against this concentration of power. An orchestration system simply routes around vendor restrictions by relying on an entirely swappable agent pool. I am incredibly proud of our team for shipping this. By orchestrating the world’s models, we are building the resilient infrastructure required for AI sovereignty.
