Ready to get started? Fill out the form above, and we’ll reach out to learn more about what you’re building and how we can help bring your idea to life

Let’s do this! Check out the get started page, You can set up an account with your Google, Github, LinkedIn accounts or sign up with an email and password

You’ll have a growing library of resources—cookbooks, guides, and tools—plus insights from the Fireworks community to help you scale smarter

We’re kicking off a series of exciting events and workshops in the coming weeks, diving deep into technical topics with some of the brightest minds in the industry. As part of the Fireworks for Startups Program, you’ll be the first to know and get priority access

Yes! Eligible startups can get access to credits (expire after 1-year) to help you prototype and scale without worrying about upfront costs

You can use credits to access and pay for a wide range of AI services across our platform. Credits cover usage for:

• Text & Vision Inference: Run serverless inference with leading open-source models like LLaMA, Mistral, and Stable Diffusion
• Image Generation: Create high-quality image models like Stable Diffusion and Flux
• Speech-to-Text (STT): Transcribe audio using models like Whisper-v3
• Embeddings: Generate embeddings for search, recommendation, or RAG pipelines
• Model Fine-tuning: Train custom versions of open models using your own data
• On-Demand GPU Deployments: Deploy full models to dedicated GPU instances for fast, scalable inference

Credits apply automatically to usage charges, and you’ll continue seamlessly with pay-as-you-go billing once credits are exhausted (if a payment method is added). This flexible system makes it easy to explore and scale your AI workflows with minimal friction

Reserved compute/GPU commitments: Credits only apply to on-demand usage, not long-term reserved GPU capacity or SLAs. Credits do not apply to Fireworks professional services or premium support.

Running out of credits? That’s a good problem—it means you’re building! At that point, you’ll roll into transparent, usage-based pricing to keep costs predictable. For startups scaling rapidly, we offer options for higher limits, reserved capacity, and tailored support
