The official Python SDK for the Fireworks AI API is available on GitHub and PyPI.

​
Fireworks vs. OpenAI SDK

Fireworks is OpenAI-compatible, so you can use the OpenAI SDK with Fireworks. The Fireworks SDK offers additional benefits:
  • Better concurrency defaults — Optimized connection pooling for high-throughput workloads
  • Fireworks-exclusive features — Access parameters and response fields not available in the OpenAI API
  • Platform automation — Manage datasets, evals, training, and deployments programmatically

​
Installation

Requires Python 3.9+ and an API key. See Getting your API key for instructions.
For Training API recipes and utilities, install fireworks-training-cookbook on Python 3.11 or newer. See Cookbook installation for PyPI releases and editable source checkouts. To use the Training API SDK directly, install fireworks-ai[training]. For detailed usage instructions, see the README.md. To quickly get started with serverless, see our Serverless Quickstart.
