Fireworks clarifies fine-tuning with reasoning traces increases token usage
What happened
Between the Feb 23, 2026 and Mar 2, 2026 captures of Fireworks's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added policy note explaining fine-tuning with reasoning traces increases tuned tokens due to conversation unrolling, with reference to SFT documentation. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 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 13 days after Fireworks's previous change, "Fireworks overhauls AI model lineup with GLM-5 and MiniMax M2 additions" (Feb 18, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Fireworks Unifies Cached Pricing at 50% Across All Text and Vision Models" (Week 3, 2026) and "Fireworks Pricing Restructured: DeepSeek R1 0528 Sees 55% Input and 32.5% Output Price Reduction" (Jan 10, 2026).
