Media has always reflected human creativity—from cave art to digital platforms—but we are now witnessing one of the most significant technological shifts in history: AI-generated content. fal was built to support this transformation at scale. As AI becomes embedded in industries such as advertising, entertainment, design, social media, e-commerce, and gaming, performance and reliability are more critical than ever.
Last year, AI transformed image generation, and fal focused on accelerating images and audio for users. This year, video is becoming the centerpiece of generative AI innovation. From hyper-personalized ads to real-time 3D product demos, brands and creators are racing to keep up with evolving content trends. Video models require more than just raw computational power; they need an infrastructure partner that can scale with exponential demand. Enterprises are turning to fal to serve high-performance video models, and fal is ready to deliver.
