Key Features

Fireworks AI
  • Unified API for many text vision and speech models
  • Low latency endpoints with streaming responses
  • Fine tuning and LoRA adapter support
  • Evals and observability for quality and p95 latency
  • Token based pricing with clear per model rates
  • Serverless or dedicated capacity choices
Vellum
  • Free and Pro plans: Pricing starts at $0 with 50 credits and Pro at $25 with 200 builder credits so solo builders can scale testing
  • Prompt playground: Compare models side by side and iterate prompts systematically instead of relying on subjective testing
  • Evaluations framework: Run repeatable quality tests at scale to detect regressions and track improvements across prompt versions
  • Hosted agent apps: Share working agents with teammates through hosted apps for demos
  • reviews
  • and stakeholder feedback cycles

Use Cases

Fireworks AI
  • Serve chat and agent backends with streaming
  • Power RAG systems with controllable latency
  • Run batch jobs for summarization and extraction
  • Fine tune models for tone or domain adaptation
  • Deploy image or vision pipelines without GPUs
  • Prototype quickly then scale with reserved capacity
Vellum
  • Agent prototyping: Build an agent by chatting with AI then refine logic with low code steps and controlled prompt versions
  • Prompt iteration: Compare LLM outputs side by side and select prompts that improve accuracy and reduce unwanted variation
  • Regression testing: Run evaluations on a saved dataset before release to catch quality drops after model or prompt changes
  • RAG apps: Attach a knowledge base and test retrieval behavior with representative questions and strict document scope rules
  • Stakeholder demos: Publish hosted agent apps so product and compliance reviewers can test behavior without local setup steps
  • Model selection: Evaluate providers and self hosted options with the same tasks to choose the best cost and latency mix for production
