Sakana Namazu

Sakana Namazu is a Japanese-specialized LLM that combines a deep understanding of Japanese culture and business customs with high-performance language capabilities. Built on the open model Kimi K2.6 and refined with Sakana AI's in-house data for Japanese language and business workflows, it handles complex tasks using web search and code execution. Unlike Fugu, which orchestrates multiple frontier models, Sakana Namazu provides a single in-house model as an API. Your use is subject to Sakana AI's Terms & Privacy Policies.
