This is genuinely wild. 🤯
A Japanese AI lab just built a model that matches Claude Fable 5 performance.
It's called Sakana Fugu, and it was built in Tokyo by a co-author of the original Transformer paper.
The guy who helped invent the architecture every AI runs on just built something that sits on top of all of them.
But here's the twist. Fugu isn't one giant model. It's a coordinator. You send one API call, and it decides which frontier model handles which part of the problem, runs them together, and hands back a single answer better than any of them could produce alone.
SWE-Bench Pro: Fugu Ultra scores 73.7. Claude Opus 4.8 scores 69.2. GPT-5.5 scores 58.6.
And because the model pool is swappable, if any provider gets export-controlled overnight, Fugu just routes around it.

Today the European Parliament voted 418-218 to pass the strictest migration law in EU history.
When the result was announced, MEPs started chanting.
"Send them back."
Inside the parliament chamber. On the floor. In 2026.
Here's what the law actually does:
— Deportation orders now apply across all EU member states. You can't evade removal by crossing a border.
— Detention before deportation extended from 6 months to 30 months. Unlimited for security threats.
— "Return hubs" in third countries. Migrants can be transferred outside the EU while awaiting deportation — including families with children.
— Automatic deportation stays while appeals are pending? Gone. Courts decide case by case.
— Entry bans double from 5 to 10 years. Lifetime bans for security risks.
Currently only about 20% of people ordered deported from the EU actually leave.
For years European leaders told voters that open borders and mass migration were non-negotiable — that wanting enforcement meant you were a fascist.
418 Members of the European Parliament just disagreed.
Trump proved his immigration policies were popular enough to win elections.
After a wave of right-wing electoral gains across the continent, Europe is following in his footsteps.
And the Overton Window is getting kicked off its hinges.
