Open-source AI is in jeopardy, so we did a thing to help. Announcing the second open model in our Aura series of media models at @fal : AuraFlow Go try it out here to see how far these models have come: Massive kudos to @cloneofsimo and @isidentical 🚀

Two months ago, 1K images with our SDXL endpoint cost ~$2.7 Today, we added deepcache support which brought the cost down to $1/1K images (at 25 steps) We obsess over perf @fal_ai_data . Find a faster one, and we guarantee to beat it within a week.

imo open source image models are still superior to DALL-E 3 etc. In terms of quality, they are real close. In terms of cost, 4 cents vs 0.27 cents is just too hard to ignore. All this thanks to the crazy optimizations we have done on @fal_ai_data to get it under 2.50 seconds.

This post didnt age well.... We just went down from 2.5s to 0.6s with Latent Consistency Models to generate a 1024x1024 image. So now it costs 0.06 cents. You didnt read that wrong, its 6% of a cent. Play with it here:

imo open source image models are still superior to DALL-E 3 etc. In terms of quality, they are real close. In terms of cost, 4 cents vs 0.27 cents is just too hard to ignore. All this thanks to the crazy optimizations we have done on @fal_ai_data to get it under 2.50 seconds.

Reliability is so underrated. There is so much value in being able to put up a website out there that a large number of people can just play with uninterrupted.

Biggest unsolved problem in AI is the 4GB nvidia/cuda docker base image.
