## Step 3: Complete the application form

Fill in the requested personal information:

Complete the other required fields marked with `*`, double-check your email, identity, product selection, and profile link, then submit.

## Step 4: Wait for the review

AMD verifies your account and application, usually within **2–3 business days** — actual time varies with application volume, information completeness, and holidays.

## Step 5: Receive and redeem the coupon code

Once approved, AMD emails a unique **Coupon Code** redeemable for **$50 in Fireworks AI Credits** to your application address. Keep it secure — do not share it publicly, forward it, or commit it to a repository.

## Set it up in PenguinHarness

With the API key in hand, three steps:

**1. Install and launch**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://penguin.ooo/install.sh | sh
penguin web        # opens http://127.0.0.1:7364 (first login: admin, initial password printed on first start)
```

**2. Configure a Fireworks model**

Open the Models page and find the **Fireworks AI** group, then use its bulk key button to paste the API key you just created. The group presets five models — GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7 Code, DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiniMax M3, and DeepSeek V4 Flash — with base URLs and pricing pre-filled; set any of them as the default. You can also hit the group's speed-test button to measure real TTFT and TPS before choosing.

**3. Start working**

Head back to Chat and hand the Agent its first task — e.g. "Analyze data.csv and summarize quarterly sales".
