Sakana AI is a Tokyo-based frontier AI research lab founded in 2023 by David Ha (former head of Google Brain Japan), Llion Jones (co-author of the landmark "Attention Is All You Need" transformer paper), and Ren Ito. The lab takes its name from the Japanese word for fish, reflecting its founding thesis that powerful intelligence can emerge from collections of smaller, simpler models — an approach drawn from natural systems like fish schools and evolutionary biology.
