Wild West API or Fireworks AI?
Fireworks AI is a large inference and fine-tuning platform with serverless per-token models, dedicated GPUs, and both OpenAI and Anthropic compatible endpoints. Its terms restrict sexually suggestive and objectionable input, which is where Wild West API's uncensored line is a different product.
Facts checked October 2026 against Fireworks AI’s own site, docs and policies.
| Wild West API | Fireworks AI | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Hosted gateway for one uncensored, tool capable model line (Xploded), at twice the upstream price. | A generative AI inference platform offering serverless models, dedicated GPU deployments, custom model and LoRA uploads, and fine-tuning. |
| Pricing | Pay as you go, 2x upstream price, $5 minimum top-up, no subscription required. | Serverless is per token on prepaid credits (for example GLM 5.3 Flash at $0.15 input, $0.03 cached, $0.50 output per 1M tokens). Batch inference is 50% of serverless pricing. Dedicated deployments are per GPU second, $8.00 per hour for H100 and H200 up to $20.00 per hour for GB300. Fine-tuning is $0.50 to $40.00 per 1M training tokens. Minimum payment and free credits not documented. |
| OpenAI-compatible | Yes | Yes, OpenAI-compatible at https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1, including tool calls. If max_tokens would exceed the context window it is adjusted automatically rather than erroring. |
| Anthropic-compatible | Yes, /v1/messages (verified with Claude Code) | Yes, POST /v1/messages with streaming at https://api.fireworks.ai/inference, documented for Claude Code. count_tokens, batch through this endpoint and server-side tools are not supported, and model names must be Fireworks identifiers. |
| Uncensored / abliterated | Four uncensored models, the Xploded line: GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, MiMo V2.6 Flash and Qwen3.8 27B. Every one calls tools. | No uncensored, abliterated or roleplay models in the serverless catalogue. The terms say input must not include nudity or other sexually suggestive content, vulgar or obscene content, or content they judge harmful or objectionable in their sole discretion. Your own models or LoRAs can be uploaded, on dedicated deployments only. |
| Per-key spend caps | Lifetime and monthly per-key caps, enforced by reserving the worst case and clamping max_tokens | 6,000 requests per minute account-wide with a payment method and credits, 10 RPM without. An account monthly spend limit, plus tiered maximum monthly spend ($50 to $50,000) on a page labelled Legacy Postpaid. Per-API-key budgets are not documented. |
Where Fireworks AI is the better choice
- Much broader platform: hundreds of serverless models, dedicated GPUs billed per second, custom model and LoRA uploads, fine-tuning (SFT and DPO) and 50% off batch inference, none of which Wild West API offers.
Where Wild West API is different
- Wild West API's models are all uncensored (the Xploded line: GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded) and every one can do tool calling for Claude Code, Cline and OpenCode, while Fireworks' terms restrict sexually suggestive and objectionable input.
- Wild West API enforces hard lifetime and monthly caps per key by reserving the worst-case cost and clamping max_tokens before each call, at 2x upstream price, $5 minimum top-up and no subscription. It resells upstream providers rather than running its own GPUs.
The uncensored models Wild West API sells
If you are comparing Fireworks AI because you want an uncensored or abliterated model API, these are the models on Wild West API: Outlaw 1 abliterated, GLM 5.3 uncensored, GLM 5.3 Flash uncensored, MiMo V2.6 Flash abliterated and Qwen3.8 27B uncensored. Every one calls tools, works in Claude Code through the Anthropic endpoint, and is priced at twice what we pay upstream, per million tokens.
| Model | What it is | Context | Price in / out | Supports |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlaw 1 Xploded outlaw-1-xploded | Outlaw 1 abliterated API | 1M | $0.30 / $1.00 | tools, vision, reasoning |
| GLM 5.3 Xploded glm-5.3-xploded | GLM 5.3 uncensored API | 1M | $2.50 / $4.50 | tools, reasoning |
| GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded glm-5.3-flash-xploded | GLM 5.3 Flash uncensored API | 1M | $0.40 / $1.60 | tools, vision, reasoning |
| MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded mimo-v2.6-flash-xploded | MiMo V2.6 Flash abliterated API | 1M | $1.00 / $3.00 | tools, vision, reasoning |
| Qwen3.8 27B Xploded qwen3.8-27b-xploded | Qwen3.8 27B uncensored API | 524K | $0.30 / $2.40 | tools, vision, reasoning |
FAQ
Does Fireworks AI allow NSFW or uncensored content?
Its terms say input must not include nudity or other sexually suggestive content, or content they consider harmful or objectionable at their discretion, and the serverless catalogue carries no uncensored or abliterated models. Wild West API's Xploded line is uncensored by design.
Can I use Claude Code with Fireworks AI?
Yes. Fireworks documents an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint for Claude Code, though count_tokens and server-side tools are not supported. Wild West API also offers an Anthropic-compatible /v1/messages endpoint.
Which is better for fine-tuning or hosting my own model?
Fireworks, clearly. It supports uploading custom models and LoRAs on dedicated GPUs and runs SFT and DPO fine-tuning. Wild West API only sells its fixed Xploded line and does not host your models.
Which uncensored models does Wild West API sell?
Wild West API sells Outlaw 1 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded. The table above has the price and context for each.
Are these models abliterated or uncensored?
Outlaw 1 Xploded and MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded are abliterated: the refusal direction was removed from the weights. GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded are uncensored: the refusal was trained back out. The abliterated vs uncensored page explains the difference.
Which one answers fastest?
MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded usually starts answering in one to two seconds. The GLM 5.3 Flash model thinks before it answers, so its first word can take much longer.
