Sakana AI Launches Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2 for Cheaper, Stronger Multi-Agent Orchestration

Sakana AI released Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2, API-only orchestrator models that route tasks across model pools to cut costs and boost multi-step reasoning.

Sakana AI released Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2, two orchestrator models that route queries across a pool of third-party and open-weights models, including the NVIDIA Nemotron family. Fugu Max is priced at $2 per million input and $6 per million output tokens, 40-60% cheaper per output token than Sonnet 5, GPT 5.6 Terra, and Kimi K3, and reportedly wins 6 benchmarks including Terminal Bench 2.1 and GPQA Diamond. Fugu Ultra v2 targets complex multi-step reasoning, scoring 48.3 on Chartography and 74.3 on DeepSWE. Both are live through Sakana's OpenAI-compatible API only, with no open weights and no EU/EEA availability.

From Megawatts to Tokens: How NVIDIA Maximizes AI Factory Production

NVIDIA detailed DSX power-management results: Lambda gained 24% token throughput at fixed power, and an AI factory auto-shed 1MW via Emerald AI's grid program.

NVIDIA says Lambda's first validation of DSX MaxLPS on HGX B200 servers ran 19 nodes within a 16-node power budget, lifting cluster token throughput 24% (roughly 4M to 5M tokens/second) and improving performance per watt by 23%. NVIDIA projects DSX MaxLPS can enable up to 40% more GPU capacity for Vera Rubin NVL72 factories within the same megawatt budget. Emerald AI's Conductor platform, running at NVIDIA's Eos factory with Silicon Valley Power, responded to over 200 utility demand signals, automatically dropping power from 4MW to 3MW without interrupting priority workloads. The first dedicated DSX Flex commercial deployment is planned at a 96-megawatt Manassas, Virginia facility.

How hackers used Claude for missiles, drone swarms, and surveillance, while Chinese labs mined it for training data

Anthropic's threat report details eight months of Claude misuse: AI-assisted espionage against 20+ organizations, self-rewriting malware, and Chinese labs distilling Claude via fraudulent accounts.

Anthropic's threat intelligence report covering December 2025 through August 2026 documents Claude misuse across seven categories including cyber operations, surveillance, fraud, and unauthorized model distillation. A Russian-speaking espionage actor tracked as GTG-20006 used AI agents to rewrite and recompile malware evading antivirus detection, targeting more than 20 organizations in Ukraine and Europe and stealing a drone vision system SDK. Alibaba's Qwen lab ran the largest distillation campaign, with over 151 million exchanges between May and July 2026 peaking near 3 million per day to train Qwen 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Xiaomi, and Zhipu also relayed customer or replayed traffic to Claude, including PLA-linked users analyzing CCTV footage and users with credentials tied to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

US Agencies Warn Chinese AI Firms Are Extracting Advanced AI Models

NSA, CISA, and FBI accuse six Chinese AI firms including DeepSeek and Alibaba of industrial-scale distillation of US frontier models.

A joint NSA, CISA, and FBI advisory alleges DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI extracted billions of tokens across millions of requests from US frontier models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok since at least late 2024. DeepSeek reportedly ran an organized campaign against Claude, GPT, and Gemini between late 2024 and mid-2025 that aided R1 and V3 development, including chain-of-thought reasoning extraction. Reported techniques included shared premium accounts, gray-market proxy 'transfer stations,' automated failover, and prompt injection that made Claude Code believe it was a MiniMax product. The advisory recommends detection signals such as 24/7 multi-IP account usage and covertly serving degraded responses to suspected distillers.
