How this price is scoped: Sakana AI Token Plan (pay-as-you-go) list price, per 1M tokens. The published rate is CONTEXT-TIERED, not flat: the tracked $5.00 input, $30.00 output and $0.50 cached input apply at or below 272K context, and the vendor lists $10 input, $45 output and $1.00 cached above it — so a long-context request bills at 2x the tracked input rate and 1.5x the tracked output rate. The monthly subscription tiers (Standard $20, Pro $100, Max $200) bundle usage allowances rather than per-token rates and are not the list price. Sibling SKUs deliberately not tracked here: plain Fugu has no fixed rate of its own (it bills at the standard rate of whichever underlying model it routes to) and Fugu Cyber is contact-sales; Fugu Max is tracked separately as sakana-fugu-max. Sakana states the service is not offered to users in EU or EEA member states.

We read Sakana AI's own pricing page on and found Fugu Ultra listed with a price on the same row — that read is where the number above comes from. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is 0e050330ef.

Overview

Sakana AI's frontier orchestration model — a multi-agent system served as a single OpenAI-compatible model that routes each request across a pool of expert LLMs, including recursive calls to itself. Pricing is context-tiered rather than flat: $5.00/$30.00 per 1M tokens at or below 272K context with cached input at $0.50, rising to $10 / $45 / $1.00 above 272K. The card pins this one fixed rate to the current version — fugu-ultra-v2.0 since 2026-09-11 (previously it covered fugu-ultra-v1.1 and v1.0) — so a version bump is a restatement of the same tracked product, not a new SKU.
