Fireworks AI's multi-LoRA system serves up to 1,000 adapters per base model
“One base model can sustain a hundred to a thousand LoRa adapters. And then basically all these different LoRa adapters can share the same, like direct the same traffic to the same base model where base model is dominating the cost.”

Fireworks AI serves fine-tuned LoRA adapters at base model pricing
“We wrote multi LoRa last year, actually, and we actually have this function for a long time and many people have been using it, but it's not well known that, oh, if you find your model, you don't need to use on demand. If you find your model is LoRa. You can u…”

Customer inference workloads rarely align with foundation model training distributions
“The data distribution in their inference workload doesn't align with the data distribution in the training data for the model, right? It's a given, actually. If you think about this, because researchers have to guesstimate what is important, what's not importa…”
