Meta 的前 CFO 跑路了，跳槽去了一家才 4 岁的 AI 公司！！😱
Dave Wehner，在 Meta 干了 14 年、2014 到 2022 年管钱的 CFO，刚在 X 上宣布：去 Fireworks 当 CFO。
Fireworks 是干嘛的？给企业跑开源模型的推理公司。7 月刚融了 15.05 亿美元，估值 175 亿美元；现在又在谈新一轮，估值可能冲到 300–400 亿美元。
更夸张的是业绩：年化收入 16 个月从 1 亿美元干到 10 亿美元，每天处理 40 万亿个 token。
Meta 市值 1.56 万亿美元，他却选了这家小公司。推理这门生意，到底有多香？

Meta's former CFO has bolted, jumping ship to an AI company only 4 years old!! 😱
Dave Wehner, the CFO who worked at Meta for 14 years and managed the money from 2014 to 2022, just announced on X: going to Fireworks to be CFO.
What does Fireworks do? An inference company for enterprises to run open-source models. In July, it just raised 1.505 billion US dollars, with a valuation of 17.5 billion US dollars; now it is negotiating a new round, and the valuation may surge to 30-40 billion US dollars.
Even more exaggerated is the performance: annualized revenue in 16 months went from 100 million US dollars to 1 billion US dollars, processing 40 trillion tokens per day.
Meta's market value is 1.56 trillion US dollars, yet he chose this small company. Just how fragrant is this inference business?
