Practical overview
When it fits
Use the cookbook when planning or implementing a Fireworks model-training workflow, or when seeking agent-based guidance to research a training approach, prepare a plan or investigate a run.
Who it is for
- Developers seeking examples for supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, preference optimization, distillation or embedding fine-tuning.
- Teams evaluating or troubleshooting Fireworks training workflows.
- Users of compatible Claude Code, Cursor or Codex environments who want agent guidance for researching, configuring or debugging training.
Documented uses
- Find a relevant training method and a close runnable cookbook entry for a task.
- Review or adapt a training loop and its supporting utilities.
- Prepare a supported Fireworks training plan for review before spend or resource changes.
- Diagnose a training run using runtime evidence.
- Use evaluation resources to export validated trajectories for reinforcement-learning workflows.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. The README documents installation paths for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.
- The recipe collection and Training API guidance are centered on Fireworks; reuse with another training service requires modification.
- The research skill recommends a method and cookbook entry but does not launch training.
- The configure skill describes plan review and approval before spending or resource mutation.
- The documented quick start uses Git, uv and Python 3.12.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the training cookbook environment
Clone the repository and install its training package in a Python 3.12 virtual environment.
Before you start
- Git
- uv
- Python 3.12
Steps
Clone https://github.com/fw-ai/cookbook.git.
Change into cookbook/training.
Create and activate a Python 3.12 virtual environment with uv.
Install the package in editable mode with uv pip install -e .
Consult training/README.md for recipes and examples.
Expected outcome
The training package is installed in the local virtual environment, and the repository points to its training README for recipe details.
Guide limitations
- This setup procedure does not itself run a training job.
- The recipes are built around Fireworks; adapting them to another service requires changes to APIs and data formats.
