Daily token volume on its platform has nearly tripled, climbing from 15 trillion to more than 40 trillion tokens. Customers include Samsung Electronics and GitLab.\n\n\"Every company holds knowledge no one else has: its data, its workflows, its customers, its definition of quality. Fireworks turns that knowledge into specialized intelligence they own,\" said co-founder and CEO Lin Qiao. The new funding will go toward expanding its engineering team and global GPU compute capacity as enterprise demand for customized, specialized AI models grows."}}
