🔥 I'm thrilled to welcome George Hu as President of Fireworks AI! 🔥 When George and I first met a year ago, I said to him – we are too small for you. But today, we are ready! We have come a long way to build out the next phase of our company. When the seven cofounders started the company, we wanted to honor our roots in PyTorch; torch carries the fire. We want the fire of AI to serve people everywhere. We named our company Fireworks to move the industry forward to be AI-first. Three and a half years in, we have grown substantially. Today, we process 30 trillion tokens a day, the biggest inference provider outside of the frontier labs’ APIs. We got to this impact by relentlessly defining what frontier inference is. It is the control we give to all application developers to customize their own model, deliver magically fast experience, and scale with maximum efficiency. We have built multiple product lines with Fireworks Training, Fireworks Inference and the best open models on one platform. We are accelerating to the next phase of scaling – enabling customers everywhere to experience the power of their own private models on Fireworks. This growth demands a world-class business leader, a unicorn, a one-of-a-kind. George is this leader. He is one of a very small number of people who have scaled not one but two iconic software companies. He worked alongside @Benioff at @salesforce , where he helped grow revenue from $100M to $5B+, and then did it again with @jeffiel at @twilio , driving nearly 10x growth in five years. George, thank you for your trust in me and the Fireworks team. I admire the conviction he brings to Fireworks, the same conviction I've had with the other cofounders since Day One. Let's build something generational! We're still early. The companies winning with AI are the ones who own their intelligence and their differentiation. Our job is to make that possible for every company in the world. And if your conviction is as strong as George’s and mine, we're hiring. Let’s bring the 🔥!

I’m honored to share that @eigenhq has raised $15M from @Benchmark to build a mutual friend that’ll help us belong and grow, together.

I want to take a moment to recognize a gravity-defying achievement by the entire @WeAreLegora team. We have grown from $1M to $100M in annual recurring revenue in just under 18 months. In this time, we've grown into a truly global company with over 400 colleagues - and built the platform where legal work happens. Powering more than 1,000 teams worldwide. It is all about the people, and I couldn’t be prouder of the Legora team and thankful to our customers and partners. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.
