Sakana releases Fugu Max & Fugu Ultra v2, betting on orchestrated model ecosystems over monoliths

Sakana AI released Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2, arguing the industry has spent a decade optimizing only for bigger, pricier models while intelligence is inherently collective and distributed.
- Core thesis: the strongest AI systems will be collaborative model ecosystems coordinating to hit the Pareto frontier at the lowest cost.
- VoidAsuka's take: future agent harnesses will orchestrate models, with trained smaller models handling routing, context isolation, and memory updates — models deciding what other models see, remember, and spend compute on.
