It’s the first time I know fireworks has a team doing model research. I do have a complex mood in that. On one hand, I’m always happy to see improvement of OSS models, whether that’s on intelligence or cost-efficiency. On the other hand, I would be a little worried about using fireworks as my API provider. Till the moment I saw this news, I had been using fireworks as my provider of deepseek v4 flash, because I thought fireworks acting as a role deploying OSS models and selling calculation resources, should be safe to use without worry of data being used for training since there’s no “conflict of interests”. But I would think twice now.

Today we might need to evaluate “innovation” in a new standard, and have a different expectation for what innovator would be awarded. Getting public attention in such an era where innovation happens every a few days could’ve already been something precious. And that attention would allow TypeSafe to be heard easily next time. Like OpenAI, Anthropic, or any others, they launch frequently but still each time they launch something new, that would hit headlines. I think that’s the “surplus” flown to innovators today.

Maybe you could show a side-by-side comparison of pelican images. One image doesn't really make the improvement clear for someone like me. That would be a great help.

It sounds like an “official” Anthropic API billed from an AWS account?
