[Sakana AI Launches First Commercial AI Assistant Marlin, Capable of Running Autonomously for 8 Hours to Generate 100-Page Strategic Reports] According to monitoring by 动察 Beating, Sakana AI has released its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin, positioned as a virtual Chief Strategy Officer and autonomous business research assistant. It is designed specifically for industries requiring in-depth research, such as finance, consulting, and think tanks. Users only need to input a research topic and clarify the direction through a brief conversation, after which Marlin will autonomously operate for approximately 8 hours without human intervention. During its operation, Marlin continuously formulates hypotheses, retrieves web pages, and verifies information, ultimately producing a strategic research report of up to 100 pages along with an executive summary in PPT format. Marlin's underlying algorithm integrates multi-model coordination optimization and long-span reasoning technologies, incorporating research published in *Nature* on AI Scientist and advancements such as AB-MCTS. In terms of commercialization, Marlin will be offered as a pay-per-use service to Pro, Team, and Enterprise-level users on a monthly subscription basis. Prior to its official release, Marlin underwent closed beta testing with approximately 300 professionals from various industries starting in April 2026, during which its research quality and long-duration operational stability were enhanced for the final version.
