Fireworks: Ember-1

Ember-1 is a specialized reasoning model from Fireworks Research, built on Kimi K3. It is designed to make every token go further: it produces shorter reasoning traces, using roughly 40% fewer tokens than the base model while maintaining comparable quality across Fireworks' evaluations. It is suited for coding, knowledge work, and agentic workflows where reasoning cost and latency matter.

A blazing fast vision-language model, FireLLaVA quickly understands both text and images. It achieves impressive chat skills in tests, and was designed to mimic multimodal GPT-4.

The first commercially permissive open source LLaVA model, trained entirely on open source LLM generated instruction following data.
