Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Sakana for the week ending August 14, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: Photorealistic magazine cover of a single orange and white koi fish suspended just below the mirror-still surface of an endless pale pond at dawn, soft mist dissolving into deep indigo at the edges, one thin thread of warm gold light along its spine, vast empty negative space above with the bold title text SAKANA set cleanly in the mist, minimalist fine-art still life, quiet symmetry, soft diffused natural light.

Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Sakana AI announced a big upgrade to Sakana Chat, which is now free and needs no login. It runs on Fugu and Namazu, the company's Japanese LLM, and newly added code execution lets users describe interactive web apps, games, or tools (even in Japanese) and get them built in seconds.
A follow-up post pitched business use: attach an Excel file and the chat goes from raw data to charts to a finished deck, with a focus on Japanese business needs.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
