fal.ai is a comprehensive generative media platform designed for developers, providing the tools and infrastructure to build, deploy, and scale applications using state-of-the-art AI models. The platform is trusted by over a million developers and leading companies like Canva and Perplexity.
Core Offerings
fal.ai's services are structured around three main products:
- fal model APIs: Provides access to a vast gallery of over 600 production-ready generative models for images, video, audio, and 3D. Developers can integrate these models into their applications with a simple API call, without needing to manage infrastructure.
- fal serverless: An on-demand, serverless GPU engine for running inference at high speed. It allows applications to scale from zero to thousands of GPUs instantly, eliminating cold starts and the need for complex autoscaler configurations.
- fal compute: Offers dedicated clusters of the latest NVIDIA GPUs (including H100, H200, and B200) for research labs and enterprises that need to fine-tune, train, or run large-scale custom models with guaranteed performance.
