One API for 1,500+ production-ready generative media models
Over 1,500 image, video, audio, 3D, and world models behind one API key, with new models added as they launch.
A custom inference stack that fal claims is up to 10x faster for diffusion models, designed for latency-sensitive production traffic.
Deploy your own or fine-tuned models, including private LoRAs and custom endpoints, with autoscaling and observability built in.
Multi-node clusters of H100, H200, B200, and B300 GPUs for training and fine-tuning compute-intensive workloads.
Open-source tools and libraries that make the command line glamorous
A terminal-based coding agent that connects your tools, code, and workflows to the LLM of your choice, available on macOS, Linux, Windows, and BSD.
The Go framework behind a large share of modern terminal interfaces, complemented by Lip Gloss for styling, Huh for forms, Bubbles for widgets, and Wish for SSH apps.
Small, focused tools including gum for shell scripts, glow for markdown, vhs for terminal GIFs, skate for key-value storage, and Pop for command-line email.
Coding-optimized, high-availability, cost-efficient hosting for open-source models, with a platform layer for production CLI workloads.

The AI developer cloud for GPU pods, serverless inference and clustering

Together AI is the AI Native Cloud — a full-stack platform for running, fine-tuning and training open-source models. It spans serverless inference APIs, dedicated endpoints, GPU clusters, post-training and storage, all backed by in-house systems research.

High-trust frontier inference, encrypted end to end
High-trust frontier inference, encrypted end to end

Extremely cost-effective serverless inference for open-weight models, but lacks fal.ai's deep specialization in real-time media pipelines.
Consolidates image, video, and audio models under single endpoints, but lacks fal.ai's advanced custom weight deployment.

Faster high-volume generative image inference, but offers a more specialized media feature set than fal.ai.
