Users often ask us, which open models should I use? There’s no single right answer! Here’s a curated list based on Fireworks internal testing, community feedback, and external benchmarks. We recommend using it as a starting point, and we will update it regularly as new models emerge.
Model sizes are marked as Small, Medium, or Large. For best quality, use large models or fine-tune medium/small models. For best speeds, use small models.
