David Ha argues AI's future lies in orchestrating multiple models, not bigger ones

In a Nikkei Asia op-ed, Sakana AI co-founder and CEO David Ha argues that as frontier scaling slows, the next phase of AI will center on mastering orchestration rather than building ever-larger models.

He contends that value shifts from individual model weights to intelligence that coordinates multiple models for different situations, and that sovereign AI rests on supply-chain resilience rather than national isolation.
