Code Examples

Install
pip install openai
API key
FIREWORKS_API_KEY
Model ID
qwen2-72b

Fireworks model IDs use "accounts/fireworks/models/{model-name}" format, e.g. "accounts/fireworks/models/llama4-scout-instruct-basic" or "accounts/fireworks/models/deepseek-r1".

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["FIREWORKS_API_KEY"],
    base_url="https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen2-72b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

About Qwen2-72B

Qwen2-72B is a cutting-edge large language model developed by Alibaba's Qwen team, featuring an impressive 72 billion parameters based on the Transformer architecture 12. It employs advanced enhancements such as SwiGLU activation, attention QKV bias, and group query attention to advance efficiency and precision 16. The model demonstrates strong performance across diverse benchmarks, excelling in language understanding, generation, coding, mathematics, and multilingual tasks, often surpassing other open-source models and challenging proprietary alternatives 34. With support for processing up to 128,000 tokens in context and proficiency in around 30 languages, it offers extensive input capabilities 15. However, the base model is not optimal for direct text generation; post-training techniques are advisable for specific applications 16.
