Fireworks AI — free tier setup
What you get free
A one-time trial credit, not a renewing free tier. Per the catalog: "Credits: $1" — category trial, shared pool across all serverless models. The balance only decays: every input/output token billed against it until it hits zero, and Fireworks does not restate an expiry window on the fetched docs pages (expiry terms unconfirmed — verify on first signup). The gotcha: $1 evaporates fast on 70B-class models — treat this as a smoke-test budget, not an operating quota.

The rest of this guide — the key-obtain walkthrough, first request, the limits that will bite you, and the rotation runbook — ships with the Indie field library. What you’ve read above is the real first section, not a blurred preview; the remainder simply isn’t in this page.
