What happened
Between the Dec 29, 2025 and Mar 30, 2026 captures of Fireworks's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Streaming ASR v1/v2 removed from STT pricing. DeepSeek V3, Kimi K2 Instruct/Thinking, and gpt-oss-20b lost cached pricing. Caching footnote updated to 50% universal rate; DeepSeek R1 0528 ($1.35 input/$0.68 cached/$5.4 output), Qwen3 235B Family ($0.22 input/$0.88 output), and Qwen3 Coder 480B ($0.45 input/$0.23 cached/$1.80 output) removed from serverless pricing table; H100 80 GB GPU on-demand price increased from $4.00/hr to $6.00/hr (50% increase). MiniMax M2 family cached token price decreased from $0.15 to $0.03 per 1M tokens. Pulse files it as a pricing change (feature removed, price increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists On-Demand at $13 per GPU hour (B200 180GB) + $15 per GPU hour (B300 288GB), Serverless at $0.08 per 10M input tokens (embeddings, up to 150M params) + $0.16 per 10M input tokens (embeddings, 150M-350M params) and Fine Tuning at $0.5 per 1M training tokens, LoRA SFT (models up to 16B params).
It lands 17 days after Fireworks's previous change, "Fireworks Adds Kimi K2.5 Turbo at $0.99 per Million Input Tokens" (Mar 17, 2026).
