+ 1 Fireworks AI gives every new user $1 in free credits to explore their inference platform — no credit card required. The platform specializes in fast, optimized inference for open-source models including DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, Mixtral, GLM, and many others, with serverless pricing starting at $0.10 per 1M tokens for small models. After credits run out, you add a payment method and pay as you go. The infrastructure is HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliant, with zero data retention by default.
