Merge Fusion has launched as a one-call API that sends a prompt to a panel of models and lets a judge write the final answer.
According to the launch post, the product claims to:
- Beat Fable 5 outright
- Do so at 1/4 of the cost
- Reach the highest score on the DRACO benchmark
The thread frames it as a strong update from the Merge team and a potentially notable way to route across frontier models.
