As of August 20, 2026, Sakana Namazu Sakana AI API pricing is $0.95 per million input tokens and $4.00 per million output tokens. Input tokens are the prompt you send; output tokens are the completion. Long answers therefore cost more than short ones even when the prompt stays the same. Source: https://sakana.ai
On this page the blended Sakana Namazu API cost is $4.95 for 1 million input tokens plus 1 million output tokens. That 1:1 mix is the comparison scale used across the LLM pricing table. A 3:1 mix (three million input tokens per one million output tokens), which some calculators use, would be about $6.85.
A typical Sakana Namazu API request with 100K input tokens and 20K output tokens costs about $0.17 at current rates as of August 20, 2026. Multiply that by daily or monthly volume to estimate spend. Caching, batch APIs, and volume discounts from Sakana AI can bring the real invoice lower than the public list rate at https://sakana.ai.
Sakana Namazu supports a 256K token context window and can generate up to 256K output tokens per request. The context window is the total prompt plus conversation history the model can see in one call. Larger windows cost more when you fill them, because every input token is billed per million tokens.
No. Sakana Namazu is a proprietary model by Sakana AI. The only public way to call it is Sakana AI's API, billed per million input and output tokens. There is no self-host option for the weights.
Sakana Namazu currently reports LiveCodeBench v6 90.3%, Aime 2026 96.7%, MMLU-Pro 90.3%. See the performance table for the full eval set. Use those scores with the token prices above when you are choosing between a cheaper LLM and a frontier model. GPQA, SWE-bench, and HLE are the evals people usually compare first.
Use the Compare picker on this page to start an LLM comparison. Search by model or provider, pick a second model, and AnotherWrapper opens a dedicated Sakana Namazu vs page with per-million-token prices, blended 1M-in / 1M-out cost, context window, throughput, and benchmarks. You can also open any model from the sidebar, or go back to the LLM pricing table to sort the full index.
The cheapest LLM alternative depends on whether you optimize for blended token cost, coding evals, or context window. Start with the popular matchups on this page, then sort the LLM pricing table by blended cost to see which hosted APIs undercut Sakana Namazu. Open-weight models can be cheaper still if you self-host, but that is not the same as Sakana AI API pricing on this page.
Sakana Namazu is called through Sakana AI's API with an API key. Bill against input and output tokens separately; cache or shorten prompts if spend is high. If you are shipping a full product, AnotherWrapper includes pre-built API routes and templates for Sakana AI and 5+ other providers with auth, payments, and deployment already configured.
This Sakana Namazu page tracks the latest published Sakana AI API pricing from Sakana AI, quoted per million tokens.

Benchmark scores come from official publications and independent evals, not from a private lab run by AnotherWrapper.
