Fireworks AI Seeks Funding at $40 Billion Valuation

Fireworks AI is in early discussions to raise new funding at a valuation between $30 billion and $40 billion. This potential valuation marks a sharp increase from the $17.5 billion valuation the company held during a $1.5 billion Series D round in July.

Founded in 2022 by former Meta and Google AI veterans, the company provides computing infrastructure and software for businesses to deploy and fine-tune custom AI models. In July, the company reported surpassing $1 billion in annualized revenue and serving over 40 trillion tokens daily.

These funding talks occur as the company manages a security incident involving an intruder who used unauthorized internal credentials to access data from several customer accounts. Chief Executive Lin Qiao has committed to a transparent investigation and a strengthened security response.
