  "account": "Fireworks Nexus Desktop AI is a desktop app and command-line tool designed to connect your coding tools to Fireworks' open models. It works quietly in the background, deciding on a cost-effective model for each individual turn based on the complexity of the task. The app comprises three components: Nexus Desktop for account management, Nexus CLI (command-line tool) for connecting coding tools, and Nexus Auto, the intelligent router that scores turns and selects the cheapest model capable of handling the job effectively. For individual developers, Fireworks Nexus Desktop AI is free to install and only charges for the actual Fireworks usage consumed. To use it, you'll need to create a Fireworks account on the Fireworks AI website and generate a Fireworks API key in the Nexus dashboard. This key is required during the installation process and stored securely on your computer. The app offers a one-command setup for each coding tool, automatic routing by Nexus Auto, real savings of 50% or more on AI coding expenses, and the ability to reverse the setup with a single command.",
