Tandem Voice AI Architecture Enables Speaking While Thinking
By
–
For years, voice AI has been stuck in a rigid loop: think, then speak. But real human conversation is messy, overlapping, and asynchronous.

AI Conductor Model Uses RL to Automate Prompt Engineering
By
–
For the past few years, humans have been doing “prompt engineering” to coax the best performance out of different LLMs. In this work, we explored what happens if we train an AI to do that job instead. By training a Conductor model with RL, we found that it naturally learns to

Evolved Multi-Agent LLM System Unlocks Test-Time Compute at ICLR2026
By
–
Scaling massive monolithic LLMs continues to yield incredible results. But to truly unlock their ceiling, the next frontier is test-time compute and dynamic orchestration. Nature solves complex problems through collaborative ecosystems. In our new #ICLR2026 paper, we evolved a

Sakana AI Fugu Launches Beta API with Recursive Test-Time Scaling
By
–
One of my favorite things about Sakana Fugu is the recursive test-time scaling. When allowed to call itself recursively, it reads its own prior output and spins up corrective workflows on the fly. We are opening up the API for beta testers to try it out: https://

Sakana Fugu Beta Launches Multi-Model Orchestration Platform
By
–
We’ve been using Sakana Fugu internally for our own research and coding. Instead of relying on a single model, it dynamically orchestrates the best combination of open and closed models for any task. The future of AI is collective intelligence. Excited to open the beta release:
