Generative AI has already transformed how we create images and audio—but what’s next? Video. And fal.ai is at the forefront of this wave, having just secured a $49 million Series B funding round to supercharge its mission of building the core infrastructure for AI-driven media creation. This latest investment, led by Notable Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), brings fal.ai’s total funding to $72 million, marking a pivotal moment for the company and the generative media landscape.
Why Video Matters Now
Video has always been the most immersive form of storytelling, but traditional workflows are slow, expensive, and resource-heavy. fal.ai recognized this gap and built a platform designed specifically for the demands of real-time video generation. As industries like advertising, entertainment, e-commerce, and gaming race to adopt AI, the need for scalable, reliable infrastructure is critical. fal.ai’s proprietary inference engine slashes costs and latency by up to 10x while handling over 100 million inference requests daily with 99.99% uptime.

In just one year, fal.ai has onboarded over 1 million developers and more than 50 enterprise customers, generating billions of assets monthly. Leading companies like Quora, Canva, and Perplexity rely on fal.ai to fuel their AI creativity. For example, Quora’s CEO Adam D’Angelo noted that fal.ai powers 40% of Poe’s image and video bots, praising the team’s speed and commitment to optimizing user experiences. Canva’s Head of Generative AI Experiences, Morgan Gautier, highlighted fal.ai’s flexibility and model diversity as key to accelerating innovation.
What’s Next for fal.ai?
With this funding, fal.ai plans to:
- Expand infrastructure globally, scaling from thousands of Hopper GPUs to tens of thousands of Blackwell GPUs to meet surging demand for video.
- Launch a model marketplace with community-driven features and new endpoints, such as Whisper, Flux, and the fastest Stable Diffusion benchmarks.
