The honest brief

Fireworks AI

Runs open models on its own FireAttention serving stack, tuned for lower latency than off-the-shelf inference runtimes.

  • Custom FireAttention inference stack
  • Vision and audio models, not just text
  • Serverless + dedicated options
  • Fine-tuning supported
  • Usage pricing scales with traffic
  • Open-weights focus, not proprietary frontier
  • Dedicated capacity costs more

Tinfoil

Hardware-enforced privacy: inference runs in attestable GPU enclaves so neither Tinfoil nor the cloud can see your data — verifiable, not just a promise.

  • Hardware-enforced, verifiable privacy
  • Open-source, attestable stack
  • OpenAI-compatible API
  • Free private chat to try
  • Runs popular open-weight models
  • Open-weight models only, no GPT-4/Claude
  • Smaller model selection than big clouds
  • Enclave approach adds some overhead
