Sakana Fugu (3 minute read)
Sakana Fugu is a multi-agent system that behaves like a single model. Fugu can decide whether to handle requests directly or coordinate a team of expert models. It manages model selection, delegation, verification, and synthesis. Users simply call one model, and a coordinated system of experts does the work. Sakana Fugu and Fugu Ultra are available today through a single OpenAI-compatible API.

Optimizing Models to Be Fast at Codegen (8 minute read)
Morph LLM optimizes open coding models by training a drafter on coding output, not the internet, for faster speculative decoding, achieving a 3.07x speedup. Autoresearch automates kernel tuning for low-demand GPUs like NVIDIA and AMD, enhancing warp-decode kernels to reach 162 tok/s on affordable hardware. Interconnect over PCIe replaces expensive NVLink using custom kernels, maintaining performance by sharing caches via TCP, cutting time-to-first-token by 84%.

A viral doomsday scenario aims to shake Europe out of its AI complacency (8 minute read)
A speculative thought experiment called Europe 2031, penned by Brussels-based thinktankers, paints a picture of a world where Europe's lack of investment into datacenters results in it being far behind the US and China.
