Fireworks AI → QuickSilver Pro

Both APIs are OpenAI-compatible, so the move is a base-URL swap. QuickSilver Pro serves the latest DeepSeek V4 wave — V4 Flash for low-cost chat and V4 Pro for premium reasoning — well below Fireworks' own-GPU rates. For the full side-by-side analysis, see /vs/fireworks.

The steps

  1. 1

    Get a QuickSilver Pro API key

    Sign up at quicksilverpro.io/dashboard. Launch bonus: top up between $5 and $50 and we match it 100% — pay $5, get $10; pay $50, get $100.

  2. 2

    Change the base URL

    In your OpenAI SDK init, swap the base_url.

    - base_url="https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1"
    + base_url="https://api.quicksilverpro.io/v1"
  3. 3

    Swap the API key

    Replace your Fireworks key with a QuickSilver Pro key.

    - api_key=os.environ["FIREWORKS_API_KEY"],
    + api_key=os.environ["QSP_KEY"],
  4. 4

    Rename model IDs

    Fireworks uses fully-qualified account paths for model IDs. Use the structured mapping below to select the QuickSilver Pro short name.

  5. 5

    Test your core flows end-to-end

    Run one representative request for each feature you use — chat, streaming, tool / function calling, and json_schema strict mode. Any behavioral difference is a bug — report it.

Common migration pitfalls

FireFunction V2 has no equivalent
FireFunction V2 is Fireworks' proprietary fine-tuned tool-calling model and is not in the QuickSilver Pro catalog. For tool calling, deepseek-v4-flash and qwen3.6-35b both support the standard OpenAI tools / function calling API.
Dedicated deployments and fine-tunes don't move
QuickSilver Pro serves shared models only. Keep Fireworks dedicated deployments and fine-tuned models on Fireworks; the two SDKs coexist fine in one codebase.
Model generation may differ
Fireworks and QuickSilver Pro both serve V4 Pro, but provider and quantization differences can affect output style. QuickSilver Pro also offers the official V4 Flash 0731 agent build. Re-run your evals after switching.
Rate limits work differently
QuickSilver Pro applies per-key throughput caps (default 600 req/min, 1M tok/min, 8 parallel). For bursty traffic, enable retry-on-429 and request a higher limit if needed.

Migrating from Fireworks AI — FAQ

How much lower on DeepSeek?
On the same V4 Pro model, QuickSilver Pro is $0.435 / $0.87 per 1M tokens versus Fireworks' current $1.74/$3.48 rate, exactly 80% lower. The official V4 Flash 0731 build is $0.112 / $0.224 versus Fireworks' $0.14/$0.28, 20% lower on both legs.
How do I migrate?
Two lines: change base_url to api.quicksilverpro.io/v1 and swap the API key. Model ID mappings: accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-v4-pro -> deepseek-v4-pro.
Is latency comparable?
Within 10% on p50 for the V4 wave and Qwen. Live per-model latency is at quicksilverpro.io/status.
Do you support FireFunction V2?
No. FireFunction V2 is Fireworks' proprietary fine-tuned model; it is not in the QuickSilver Pro catalog. For tool calling, DeepSeek V4 Flash and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B both support the OpenAI tools / function calling API.
