Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities Move Wealth-Management AI Platform Into Full-Scale Development

#Sakana AI#Daiwa Securities#wealth management#AI Scientist#partnership

Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities announced on August 5, 2026 that their joint project to build a dedicated AI platform for total-asset consulting has moved from a technical verification phase into full-scale production development, effective August 1, 2026. The work will now focus specifically on the wealth-management domain ahead of a gradual in-house rollout at Daiwa Securities.

Details

  • Origin of the partnership: builds on a long-term strategic partnership between Sakana AI and Daiwa Securities Group first announced October 3, 2025 — Sakana AI’s first tie-up with a securities firm
  • What’s being built: a dedicated “Total Asset Consulting Platform” that uses Sakana AI’s proprietary AI technology to deliver hyper-personalized wealth-management recommendations, spanning client segments from affluent investors to emerging/mass-market clients
  • Technical foundation: the platform builds on Sakana AI’s “AI Scientist” agent technology, with the companies having spent the verification phase collecting and analyzing market information and building AI-agent-driven business process support
  • Phase transition: as of August 1, 2026, the project moves from technical verification into production development, with application specifically to the wealth-management business and a gradual rollout inside Daiwa Securities
  • Division of roles: Sakana AI contributes proprietary AI models and agent-design expertise; Daiwa Securities contributes financial-industry domain knowledge and implementation infrastructure, with a joint working group driving rapid, phased system development

What happened next

  • No public release or customer-facing launch date has been announced yet — the current milestone is the internal move into production development, with in-house rollout at Daiwa Securities to follow gradually
  • This is Sakana AI’s first announced application of its agent technology to a live financial-services production system, expanding beyond its Fugu/Namazu consumer- and enterprise-API product line
