Gavin Baker(@GavinSBaker):Super excited that I will be interviewing @lqiao CEO and founder of @FireworksAI_HQ at the @tomorrowxsummit in Austin, TX November 17-18. Lin’s vision of specialized intelligence is compelling and she is making it a reality. Fireworks is at the forefront of helping enterprises take an open source model, post-train it with proprietary data and then combine it with a frontier model behind a router to get frontier intelligence at a much lower cost. And per Bessemer they went from 100m in ARR to 1b in 16 months, which was faster than any company they have tracked other than Anthropic. 40 trillion tokens per day as of July!
