NewJoin us for our inaugural conference, Forge 2026

Every company should make its own frontier.

Fireworks was started on a simple conviction: the intelligence that matters most will be specialized. It will be built on open models and owned by the companies that make it, not rented from a few closed labs. Today, we make specialized intelligence practical for companies around the world: one platform to infer, orchestrate, and train open models with world-class researchers. Build what only you can.
