Fireworks.ai open source API puts generative AI in reach of any developer


Fireworks.ai, a startup from a Meta vet, has built an open source API to help developers add generative AI capabilities to an application.

While the majority of the focus remains on the model vendors like OpenAI, Anthropic and Cohere, or the bigger companies like Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon, there are in fact, a lot of startups trying to attack the generative AI problem in a variety of ways. Being an API, developers can plug it into their application, bring their model of choice trained on their data, and add generative AI capabilities like asking questions very quickly. The company raised $25 million in 2022 led by Benchmark with participation from Sequoia Capital, and angel investors including Databricks and Snowflake.
