Sakana’s RL Conductor trains a tiny 7B model to orchestrate GPT Claude and Gemini at low cost

Published on 8 May 2026

It writes the workflow in plain language

Sakana AI says its RL Conductor turns a small 7B model into an “orchestra conductor” that dynamically routes tasks across GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and open-source workers. Instead of hardcoded pipelines like LangChain, it learns coordination via reinforcement learning—cutting tokens and API calls while boosting reasoning and coding benchmark scores. The tech now powers Sakana Fugu’s enterprise API.

RL Conductor replaces rigid hardcoded agent pipelines with dynamic orchestration
A 7B model coordinates multiple frontier and open-source LLMs
It cuts token usage dramatically versus prior multi-agent routers
Sakana Fugu productizes the approach via an OpenAI-compatible API
