Practical overview

When it fits

Consider Fireworks when an application needs managed model inference, embeddings, or API-based model training and fine-tuning.

Who it is for

  • Developers serving open-weight models in applications.
  • Teams generating embeddings for search or retrieval workflows.
  • Organizations adapting models with their own data or provisioning training compute.

Documented uses

  • Serve open-weight models through cloud inference APIs.
  • Generate embeddings for application search or retrieval.
  • Fine-tune models using customer-provided data.
  • Access serverless or dedicated compute for training workloads.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

Fireworks is a paid service, with usage described using per-token pricing. API offerings include a Serverless Training API.

  • The service offers both serverless and dedicated-compute options.
  • Pricing is usage-based and described per token.
  • The cited pricing information identifies a Serverless Training API.

Source-based practical guide

Install and sign in to Firectl on Linux

Install the Firectl command-line tool on Linux x86_64 and verify the signed-in account.

Before you start

  • A Linux x86_64 system.
  • A Fireworks account.

Steps

  1. Download the Linux x86_64 archive with wget -O firectl.gz https://storage.googleapis.com/fireworks-public/firectl/stable/linux-amd64.gz.

  2. Extract it with gunzip firectl.gz, then install the binary with sudo install -o root -g root -m 0755 firectl /usr/local/bin/firectl.

  3. Sign in using firectl signin. If Custom SSO is set up, pass the account ID: firectl signin .

  4. Run firectl whoami to show the account you signed into.

Expected outcome

Firectl is installed and the signed-in account is displayed.

Guide limitations

  • The documented Linux download is for x86_64 only.
  • The guide covers installation and account sign-in, not model inference or training.
