SAKANA: FUGU ULTRA V2

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Fugu Ultra v2 is the higher-performance model in Sakana AI's Fugu family. It uses a language model trained to route tasks across a fixed pool of open and specialized models and to recursively call instances of itself. The model prioritizes answer quality on complex multi-step reasoning, autonomous research, and full-stack software development, and does not rely on individual proprietary frontier models in its pool. It supports configurable reasoning effort, function calling, structured outputs, image and PDF input, and built-in web search.
