Fireworks AI
API service
Serving for frontier open models and for a customer's own post-trained versions of them, on an inference engine tuned at each layer.
Real-time and batch speech-to-text on Fireworks, aimed at voice workflows that need low-latency transcription at scale.
Training and retraining of custom models on Fireworks, offered across several training surfaces and served on the same platform.
Hive
API service
APIs that classify images, video, audio and text as authentic or AI-generated, flag deepfakes and predict which generative model likely produced the content, billed per use.
Hosted text-to-image API serving SDXL, Flux Schnell and Hive-enhanced variants of them, running every generated image through Hive's visual moderation model before it is returned.
Optical character recognition API that transcribes overlay, scene and document text in 15+ languages plus emojis from images and video, returning words and reading-order text blocks.
Real-time multilingual transcription API that returns each spoken word with a timestamp and confidence score, a fully punctuated transcript and automatic language detection.
Text translation API on Hive's own multilingual model, translating directly between any two supported languages and tuned for short user-generated text such as posts, comments and reviews.
Text-to-video API that produces generated clips across genres, subjects and styles from a written prompt.
No counterpart
Fireworks AI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Hive yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Infrastructure service
FireOptimizer optimizes model inference and supports fine-tuning with users' data.
Model API
Routing layer for coding harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode that scores each request and sends it to an open model or your closed provider to cut cost.
Hive sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Fireworks AI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
A free Chrome extension that scans an image, video, text or audio file on any web page for the likelihood it is AI-generated and, for images and video, names the generator it predicts was used.
Free web tool where a person uploads a file or submits a media URL and Hive's detection models report whether an image, video or audio clip is AI-generated or a deepfake, with a detailed analysis.
Platform
No-code platform for uploading and labelling datasets, fine-tuning Hive's proprietary or open-source text, image and language models on them, evaluating the results and deploying the custom model for inference.
Data service
Fully managed data collection and annotation service for enterprises, with every task corroborated by several contributors from Hive's labelling workforce and QA'd before delivery.
