Sakana: Fugu Max

The Sakana Fugu Max is an AI model that accepts input in multiple modalities: text, image, and file. It can handle long context lengths of up to 1 million characters and supports the use of tools during the reasoning process. However, it does not provide structured output. Those looking for a model with versatile input capabilities may want to consider shortlisting the Sakana Fugu Max due to its ability to accept text, image, and file inputs. Its price point is also notable, with a per million token input cost of $2.00 and output cost of $6.00, but as it has no benchmark coverage, it's uncertain how well it will perform compared to other models.
