Phylo’s Biomni Lab now runs its biology agents on open‑weight models offered by Fireworks. The switch let the company halve the time to first token and lower the cost per task by about 60%. Those savings helped the service double its month‑on‑month user growth while keeping more of each user’s quota for scientific work.

Why it matters

Scientists can run more complex analyses before hitting usage limits, speeding discovery for labs that can’t afford expensive proprietary models.
