description: >-
  Sakana AI's commercial Fugu API is in beta. Public pricing has not been published as of
  May 2026. Beta access is application-based. Sakana also releases open-weight research
  models on Hugging Face under research licenses.
notes: >-
  Update this artifact once Sakana publishes Fugu pricing. Until then the plan structure
  is best-known-only - Fugu Mini and Fugu Ultra are the two announced variants.
