Create a Fireworks AI inference endpoint
- PUT /_inference/{task_type}/{fireworksai_inference_id}
Create an inference endpoint to perform an inference task with the fireworksai service.
- Cluster privileges:
manage_inference
Path Parameters
-
task_typeFireworksAITaskTyperequired -
The type of the inference task that the model will perform.
-
Values:
chat_completioncompletiontext_embedding -
fireworksai_inference_idstring Idrequired -
The unique identifier of the inference endpoint.
Query Parameters
-
timeoutstring Duration · default: 30s Specifies the amount of time to wait for the inference endpoint to be created.
Request
-
chunking_settingsInferenceChunkingSettings -
The chunking configuration object. Applies only to the
text_embeddingtask type. Not applicable to thecompletionorchat_completiontask types. - Reference
-
max_chunk_sizenumber · default: 250 -
The maximum size of a chunk in words. This value cannot be lower than
20(forsentencestrategy) or10(forwordstrategy). This value should not exceed the window size for the associated model. -
overlapnumber · default: 100 -
The number of overlapping words for chunks. It is applicable only to a
wordchunking strategy. This value cannot be higher than half themax_chunk_sizevalue. -
sentence_overlapnumber · default: 1 -
The number of overlapping sentences for chunks. It is applicable only for a
sentencechunking strategy. It can be either1or0. -
separator_groupstring -
Only applicable to the
recursivestrategy and required when using it.Sets a predefined list of separators in the saved chunking settings based on the selected text type. Values can be
markdownorplaintext.Using this parameter is an alternative to manually specifying a custom
separatorslist. -
separatorsstring -
Only applicable to the
recursivestrategy and required when using it.A list of strings used as possible split points when chunking text.
Each string can be a plain string or a regular expression (regex) pattern. The system tries each separator in order to split the text, starting from the first item in the list.
After splitting, it attempts to recombine smaller pieces into larger chunks that stay within the
max_chunk_sizelimit, to reduce the total number of chunks generated. -
serviceFireworksAIServiceTyperequired -
The type of service supported for the specified task type. In this case,
fireworksai. -
Values:
fireworksai -
service_settingsFireworksAIServiceSettingsrequired -
Settings used to install the inference model. These settings are specific to the
fireworksaiservice. -
api_keystringrequired -
A valid API key for your Fireworks AI account. You can find or create your API keys in the Fireworks AI dashboard.
IMPORTANT: You need to provide the API key only once, during the inference model creation. The get inference endpoint API does not retrieve your API key.
- External docs
-
model_idstringrequired -
The name of the model to use for the inference task. Refer to the Fireworks AI documentation for the list of available models for chat completion, completion, and text embedding. For text embedding, supported models include the Qwen3 embedding family (e.g.
fireworks/qwen3-embedding-8b) and other models in the Fireworks model library. - External docs
-
urlstring -
The URL endpoint to use for the requests. If not provided, the default Fireworks AI API endpoint is used.
-
dimensionsnumber -
For a
text_embeddingtask, the number of dimensions the resulting output embeddings should have. Variable-length embeddings are supported via this parameter. -
similarityFireworksAISimilarityType · default: cosine -
For a
text_embeddingtask, the similarity measure. One of cosine, dot_product, l2_norm. -
Values:
cosinedot_productl2_norm - External docs
-
rate_limitRateLimitSetting -
This setting helps to minimize the number of rate limit errors returned from the Fireworks AI API. Rate limit grouping is per API key only. By default, the
fireworksaiservice sets the number of requests allowed per minute to 6000. - External docs
-
requests_per_minutenumber -
The number of requests allowed per minute. By default, the number of requests allowed per minute is set by each service as follows:
