A manic riff on https://xcancel.com/OpenRouter/status/2065856853989270011 , which advertises https://openrouter.ai/fusion/1 , which is a (slow) multi-model multi-prompt workflow that's specific to the "DRACO" benchmark for "deep research", and doesn't say much about coding and long-horizon agentic work, nor does it imply you can somehow parlay this into duct-taping 50 budget-tier models together for even more gains. Not even sure what "solo" even means in the context of the comparison chart - oneshot? Variant workflow since it doesn't make sense to run on one input?

Mixing outputs of different models one way or another is old news, if it were anywhere near as promising as the author dreams it would have exploded many months ago.

This is very interesting and the biggest glimpse of hope I’ve seen the last couple months here. I haven’t really paid attention to Fusion even though I got the email. I didn’t even assume it would be comparable.

I’m so confused. The top fusion is Fable 5 and GPT 5.5. That is not an “ensemble of weaker AI models.”
