The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology.

In the current function calling of Fireworks AI, I am using it as one part of my RAG system. If Fireworks AI could be enhanced not only with the function calling I currently use, but also by adding a variety of other connections, then I think it would lead to an even better situation.

The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp.

Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience.

One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive.

Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase.

When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution.
