Sakana AI Co, Ltd. is a Japanese artificial intelligence company based in Tokyo.
The company's name is derived from the Japanese word さかな (sakana), which means fish.
This represents the idea of a school of fish coming together and forming a coherent entity from simple rules, which is an analogy of collective intelligence.
