Meta首席战略官戴夫·韦纳正离开公司，加入这家成立四年的AI初创企业Fireworks。
Dave Wehner, Meta's chief strategy officer, is leaving the company for four-year-old AI startup Fireworks.
韦纳将在Fireworks担任首席财务官一职，该公司是一个专注于开放模型的AI推理和模型训练平台，于7月D轮融资时估值达175亿美元。他在周五于X平台上宣布了这一消息。
At Fireworks — an AI inference and model-training platform focused on open models that was valued at $17.5 billion during a Series D fundraising round in July — Wehner will assume the CFO role, he announced on X on Friday.
Fireworks首席执行官林乔在给CNBC的声明中表示，韦纳将负责扩大公司的财务和运营规模。
Wehner will be tasked with scaling the company's finances and operations, Fireworks CEO Lin Qiao said in a statement to CNBC.
韦纳在X上写道：“Fireworks拥有符合当下的正确使命”，并补充道：“我对他们正在构建的事物变得越来越看好。这里拥有令人惊叹的技术人才深度，并非常务实地专注于客户需求。”这家成立于2022年的AI初创公司由前Meta和谷歌员工创办，是一个让开发者为其业务定制和运行开放模型的平台。其最新一轮投资由Atreides Management、Index Ventures和TCV领投，但Fireworks也获得了英伟达和红杉资本的支持。
"Fireworks has the right mission for the moment," Wehner wrote on X, adding: "I've become increasingly bullish on what they are building. There's a remarkable depth of technical talent here, coupled with a very practical focus on what customers need." The AI startup, founded in 2022 by former Meta and Google employees, is a platform that lets developers customize and run open models for their businesses. Its latest investment round was led by Atreides Management, Index Ventures and TCV, but Fireworks is also backed by Nvidia and Sequoia Capital.
《商业内幕》报道称，该公司正处于早期融资谈判中，可能以300亿至400亿美元的估值再次融资。
Business Insider reported that it is in early talks to raise funds again at a possible $30 billion to $40 billion valuation.
韦纳于2012年加入Meta（当时称为Facebook），并于2014年至2022年担任公司首席财务官。
Wehner joined Meta, then called Facebook, in 2012 and was the company's chief financial officer from 2014 to 2022.
Meta首席运营官哈维尔·奥利万在给CNBC的声明中表示：“戴夫在14年间帮助Meta度过了巨大的增长和复杂性，并为我们一些最艰难的公司层面决策带来了严谨的思考。”
"Dave helped guide Meta through tremendous growth and complexity over 14 years, and brought disciplined thinking to some of our hardest company-level decisions," Meta COO Javier Olivan said in a statement to CNBC.
Fireworks 的规模明显小于 Meta —— 截至周五收盘，这家科技巨头的市值约为 1.56 万亿美元 —— 以及其竞争对手，其中包括 OpenAI 和 Anthropic。
Fireworks is notably smaller than Meta — the tech giant has about a $1.56 trillion market capitalization as of Friday's close — and its competitors, which include OpenAI and Anthropic.
“Dave 告诉我，他想回到一家规模较小的公司，在那里他能再次通过构建产品产生重大影响，”Fireworks 的 Lin 周五在 LinkedIn 发文写道。“他把 AI 视为他一生中具有决定性意义的技术变革，并希望帮助塑造未来的发展。” 公司规模较小并未使其免受 AI 技术常伴随的风险和复杂情况的影响。10 月，该公司在一份新闻稿中表示，发现了“一起涉及未经授权使用 Fireworks 内部凭证的安全事件”，其中“未经授权的第三方访问了极少数客户账户中评估任务所用的环境变量”。
"Dave told me he wanted to get back to a smaller company where he could build toward a big impact again," Fireworks' Lin wrote in a LinkedIn post on Friday. "He sees AI as the defining technology shift of his lifetime and wants to help shape what comes next." The company's size has not made it immune to the risks and complications often associated with AI technology. In October, the company found "a security incident involving unauthorized use of internal Fireworks credentials," in which "an unauthorized third party accessed environment variables used in evaluation jobs in a limited number of customer accounts," it said in a press release.
新闻稿称：“基于我们目前的调查，我们未检测到未经授权访问 Fireworks 安全边界或控制范围内的客户模型、数据集、训练数据、个人信息或推理流量的证据。”
"Based on our investigation at this time, we have not detected evidence of unauthorized access to customer models, datasets, training data, personal information, or inference traffic within the Fireworks security perimeter or control," the release said.
