How it unfolded
- recentlyEarlier in the week of the Ember-1 announcement, Fireworks introduced the Specialized Intelligence Index (SII), a benchmark testing open, closed, and specialized models on real-world tasks created by industry experts.
- recentlyFireworks Research ran more than 50 training experiments and over 200 evaluations aimed at shortening reasoning without losing accuracy.
- recentlyFireworks Research introduced Ember-1, a specialized model built on Kimi K3 that it says delivers K3's quality with 40% fewer tokens, available today.
