Real head-to-head · same prompt, one shot
LongCat-2.0 vs Fugu Ultra 1.1
The open 1.6T MoE that builds — a frontier coder trained on non-Nvidia ASIC superpods. vs Sakana's multi-agent orchestrator, v1.1 — routes experts per request.
What I tested — same prompt, two models
I run the same fixed prompt set through every new model the day it drops — same string, one shot, single HTML file out — and I score the result 0–10 on whether it ran, how close it hit the brief, and how good it looked. Below is what came out when I gave the exact same prompts to LongCat-2.0 and Fugu Ultra 1.1, side by side, on 0 shared tasks inside the Agent Operating System.
Both models were given identical prompts inside the Agent Operating System — no help, no iteration, no "best of N" tricks. I run each prompt once, save the HTML file the model produces, and score it 0–10 on whether it ran, how close it hit the brief, and how good it looked. The scoring is mine. The verdicts below are pulled from my source comparison guides at agentos.guide where I publish every score and the reasoning behind it.
LongCat-2.0 · Run through the free longcat.chat web chat (the API key had no token quota), driven with the local-model-tester GoldieBench prompts; every build render-verified + playtested (verify-move.js: walks + looks + zero errors) before scoring. Slots into the Agent OS as an open frontier coder via its OpenAI-compatible API or the Claude Code / OpenClaw / Hermes harnesses.
Fugu Ultra 1.1 · Benched on GoldieBench via Sakana's Responses API (fugu-ultra-v1.1, xhigh reasoning). Game tasks use the skill-infused threejs-game-director prompt plus a controls+graphics fix loop with an anti-regression clamp, judged on a real mid-play frame by the same Opus judge as the field.

Strengths & weaknesses I logged
LongCat-2.0
Strengths
- One-shot GoldieBench: 3 of 4 flawless playable 3D builds (Dragon Realm 8.5, Skyrim 8.5, Crypt 8.0); Voxel Craft built one-shot but needed a 1-line camera fix (7.5) — avg 8.1
- 1.6T-param MoE (~48B active/token) with LongCat Sparse Attention + a 1M-token window — built for long-horizon agentic + coding tasks
- Open weights, deeply integrated with Claude Code, OpenClaw and Hermes — a free frontier-class coder to slot into the Agent OS
Trade-offs
- The direct API key we were given had near-zero token quota, so we ran it through the free web chat rather than the API
- One camera-framing miss: Voxel Craft loaded facing away from the world (sky-only) until a one-line yaw/pitch patch pointed it at the terrain
Fugu Ultra 1.1
Strengths
- Orchestrates 1-3 expert agents per request and synthesises their answers
- Reported SWE-Bench Pro 73.7 — above Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on Sakana's table
- OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API — drop-in for Codex and Claude Code
Trade-offs
- Benched as a partial run until the full 50-task batch completes
- Region-locked: unavailable across the EU/EEA/UK/CH — access depends on where you are

| Pricing detail | LongCat-2.0 is open-sourced (weights on Hugging Face + GitHub) and served via the longcat.chat web chat plus an OpenAI-compatible API (model id 'LongCat-2.0' at api.longcat.chat/openai/v1). It's a 1.6T-parameter MoE with ~48B activated per token, trained entirely on AI ASIC superpods (>50K accelerators, 35T+ tokens, no rollbacks). Note: the direct API key we were handed shipped with zero token quota ('Token 额度不足'), so every build here was run through the free web chat. Vendor: Meituan. | Sakana's Fugu Ultra v1.1 — a multi-agent system served as a model: an orchestrator routes each request across one to three expert agents and synthesises the answer. Reported (v1.0): SWE-Bench Pro 73.7, LiveCodeBench 93.2, GPQA Diamond 95.5. NOTE: Sakana geo-blocks the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland pending GDPR compliance — benched from an allowed region. |

The verdict — which should you pick?
Not enough scored shared tasks yet for a head-to-head average. The live demos for both are on the matrix above — play them and form your own opinion.
If you only run one of these inside your stack, the head-to-head average above is the call. If you can run both, my honest play is to wire LongCat-2.0 and Fugu Ultra 1.1 both into the Agent Operating System and dispatch each from the kanban by task type — one-shot single-file 3d / html / game builds inside the agent os → LongCat-2.0, hard, high-stakes coding and reasoning where answer quality beats latency → Fugu Ultra 1.1. That's the same setup I run for the 4,000+ founders inside the AI Profit Boardroom.
