At Fireworks, we believe open models and ecosystem let intelligence compound where value is created - inside every company serving a special purpose. We signed the open letter to support open weights.

Kicking off the weekend right at @daytonaio's HackSprint in downtown SF! We've got a table set up with our buddies from @braintrust - stop by and say hello! Good luck to all of the hackathon participants, we can't wait to see what you build.

Open weights = freedom. You can run them on your own hardware. No vendor can pull the plug. No API can deprecate you. No company logs your private data. That's sovereignty. Closed models hand one company a monopoly on intelligence. Open weights hand it back to…

Many still debate open vs closed, and compare cost per token (accounting metric). Better to shift attention to cost per successful task. @seldo and the team at @arizeai did so across 2,400 runs. Conclusion: route by task difficulty, and you win on both cost and coverage.
