Overview

Fugu-Cyber is Sakana AI's orchestration model tuned specifically for cybersecurity work — vulnerability discovery, exploit reasoning, and threat-intelligence analysis — released July 21, 2026 as a new API endpoint. Where general frontier models handle security tasks as one capability among many, Fugu-Cyber is trained and evaluated against domain benchmarks, and Sakana positions its scores on CyberGym (real-world vulnerability tasks) and CTI-REALM (cyber threat intelligence) as state-of-the-art, matching the dedicated cyber variants of GPT-5.5.

It's built for security engineers, red teams, and threat researchers who want a model that behaves like a coordinated agent across security tooling rather than a chat window. As an "orchestration" model, the pitch is that it plans and sequences multi-step security workflows — enumerating a target, reasoning about a vulnerability class, drafting analysis — instead of answering one prompt at a time. This is a raw model accessed through an API, not a packaged app, so you're wiring it into your own pipeline or agent framework.

The honest caveat: nearly everything known about performance comes from Sakana's own release, and access is gated behind an application-and-approval process with no free tier or public playground. That makes independent verification hard right now, and the specialization cuts both ways — this is not a general-purpose model you'd reach for outside security contexts.

Key features

Cyber Orchestration

Positioned as an orchestration model that plans and sequences multi-step security workflows rather than answering isolated prompts, aimed at agentic red-team and analysis pipelines.

Frontier Benchmarks

Sakana reports state-of-the-art results on CyberGym (real-world vulnerability tasks) and CTI-REALM (threat intelligence), claiming parity with GPT-5.5's dedicated cyber variants.

API Endpoint

Delivered as a new API endpoint with token-based pricing, meant to be integrated into existing security tooling and agent frameworks rather than used through a chat UI.

Gated Access

Availability requires an application and approval, signaling a controlled rollout appropriate to a model with offensive-security capabilities.

Pricing

Token Plan $6–$12/M input, $36–$54/M output

Pay-per-token API access; rates scale up for large-context requests. Access requires application approval.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Specialized for cybersecurity rather than a general model used off-label
  • Claimed SOTA on real-world benchmarks (CyberGym, CTI-REALM), not just synthetic tests
  • Orchestration design targets multi-step agentic security workflows
  • Application-gated rollout is a reasonable posture for offensive-security capability

Cons

  • ×Access is gated behind application approval with no free tier or public playground
  • ×Performance claims come almost entirely from Sakana's own release — little independent verification yet
  • ×Output pricing is steep and scales higher for large-context requests
  • ×Narrow specialization: not useful outside security work
