Fal Models Catalog

Choose the right fal.ai endpoint for a given task. Modality-organized catalog of production endpoint defaults, text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, and more. Use when the user has not named a specific model, or asks "which model for X", "best endpoint for Y", "what should I use for Z".

File contents

fal.ai Models Catalog

Endpoint-first navigation for fal.ai production work. Each modality reference lists curated picks organized by use case (premium realism / fast & cheap / 4K / specialized). Before reaching for free-text search, consult the modality reference that matches the task.

Runtime: All endpoint calls run via the genmedia CLI. See the genmedia skill for command syntax; run genmedia init once if not yet installed.

Endpoint-first rule

Pick the endpoint ID from the right modality reference.
Verify it: genmedia models --endpoint_id <endpoint_id> --json.
Inspect it: genmedia schema <endpoint_id> --json.
Check cost when relevant: genmedia pricing <endpoint_id> --json.
Use text search only if the routed endpoint is missing, deprecated, rejected, or the role is not covered here:

genmedia models "<task description>" --json
genmedia docs "<topic>" --json

Do not invent endpoint IDs.

Modality references

Load the reference matching the user's task:

text-to-image.md, image generation from prompt (text-heavy, premium still, fast draft)
image-to-image.md, image editing, inpainting, background removal, upscaling
text-to-video.md, video generation from prompt (highest quality, fast/economical, multi-shot storytelling)
image-to-video.md, video from a reference frame (including audio-driven and lip-sync variants)
video-to-video.md, video edit, restyle, upscale, background removal
text-to-3d.md, 3D model generation from text
image-to-3d.md, 3D model generation from reference images
text-to-audio.md. TTS, music, SFX generation
audio-to-text.md, speech-to-text (Whisper, ElevenLabs Scribe with diarization)
image-to-text.md. OCR, captioning, VQA, detection, segmentation

Utility endpoints

Workflow utility endpoint IDs (resize, composite, mask, audio merge, subtitle, etc.) live in the fal-workflow skill: fal-workflow/references/utility-endpoints.md.

Utility endpoints are explicit because they are deterministic tools, not creative model choices. Always inspect schema before use.
