The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch · 20VC: Are OpenAI and Anthropic Overvalued? The Open-Source AI Reality | How Token Costs Will Fall 10x And Usage Will Explode 100x | The Future Is Not One AGI; It's Millions of Specialised Models with Lin Qiao, Founder and CEO @ Fireworks · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

So within Firewall, obviously with Dogfoot, our own product, we use Open Model to drive our recruiting process, candidate sourcing, and the feedback collection.

We use Open Model to even drive some internal finance processes.

Obviously, for coding, we use Open Model to help us debug.

We're a ton of agents within Fireworks ourselves, and we are cost conscious.

So that is important.

Both model categories cross a threshold to solve so many variety of problems.

I remember from two years ago, I went to different places and talked about an interesting phenomenon.

That doesn't exist in the past, in the SaaS era.

During SaaS time, product market fit and the durable business almost are equivalent to each other.

The hardest thing is finding product market fit, and then once you find it, it just scales as fast as it can.

Because CPU is a commodity, the infrastructure you build on top of it is almost like a commodity.

You don't even worry about that as your cogs.

Now, product market fit and durable business are two separate concepts.

For startups, we have great companies that have product market fit.
