Sakana Fugu launches on OpenRouter

Orchestration-as-a-model systems represent a major shift from monolithic models to collective intelligence platforms, offering a resilient hedge against API outages and vendor lock-in.

• –Fugu Ultra operates as a single API endpoint that coordinates task routing, delegation, and verification behind the scenes.
• –By leveraging a swappable pool of models, developers gain access to frontier-level capabilities without being bound to one provider.
• –OpenRouter integration makes orchestration highly accessible, pricing Fugu Ultra at $5/1M input and $30/1M output tokens.
• –This approach highlights a growing architectural trend where planning and verification layers sit on top of base model inference.
