Sakana Namazu is built for Japanese: it starts from Kimi K2.6 and adds training in the Japanese language and in business settings. It reads text, pictures and files, writes text, and thinks before it answers, with about 260 pages in mind at once. It suits following Japanese instructions, business writing, maths, coding, research and long step-by-step jobs. Sakana may use your inputs for training unless you opt out in its console, so choose a general model for work in other languages.
