Sakana Fugu (Fugu Ultra) Just Dropped: Multi‑Agent API vs Fusion, Fable 5 & GLM 5.2 BenchmarksThe video covers a new release from Japanese AI lab Sakana called Sakana Fugu, a multi-agent orchestration system accessible via a single model API, including a higher-end option called Fugu Ultra that reportedly matches frontier models like Fable and Mythos. The host explains the panel-style approach (similar to Fusion) where multiple models produce responses that are synthesized into one answer, then shares early hands-on tests generating a polished website, a maze game, a galaxy simulation, and an orbit simulation. They review benchmark comparisons (noting SW Bench Pro favors Fable 5) and side-by-side output quality against GLM 5.2, Opus 4.8, and Fusion, while warning about self-reported benchmark claims and recommending independent testing via their Goldy Bench. They show integrating Sakana into their Agent OS, discuss latency and use cases (Fugu vs Fugu Ultra), pricing differences versus Fusion, and how to access the API via sakana.ai, then promote the AI Profit Boardroom community and daily Agent OS updates. 00:00 Sakana Fugu Launch 01:11 Early Demos Showcase 02:06 Fusion Style Overview 02:23 Benchmark Performance 03:06 Head To Head GLM 04:45 Versus Opus Comparison 05:12 Benchmark Hype Warning 05:52 Agent OS Integration 06:42 Using The Sakana API 07:37 Fugu Versus Ultra 08:32 Orbit Demo Results 09:04 Fugu Versus Fusion 09:37 Saving Outputs Workflow 10:05 Cost And Pricing 11:07 Wrap Up And Community
