Ben Nash estimates that reskinning a two-hour film with MiniMax H3 Max could cost roughly $1,500 to $3,000 or more in a practical run. His clean 768p single-pass estimate is about $576 before retries and multiple generations.

Infinite Slop now lets viewers upvote what its AI-video stream generates next and has passed 2,000 concurrent viewers. Its creator says the project would cost about $200,000 a month without FAL sponsorship.

Levelsio launched a stream where chat messages generate each connected video segment from the prior clip. It uses fal’s post-trained MiniMax H3 Max variant and blocks NSFW and copyright prompts.

Creator tests on Fal put MiniMax H3 Max 15-second 720p renders at roughly 16–17 seconds. A separate 480p test took 5.17 seconds and cost $0.7125.

Ideogram 4.0 shipped as an open-weight image model with JSON prompting, bounding boxes, stronger text rendering, and native 2048px output. The release targets layout-heavy creative work, and teams can test early fal and Leonardo integrations in production flows.

OpenAI rolled out Codex Sites so plans, docs, dashboards, and creative concepts can become interactive apps with shareable URLs. The launch also added role-specific plugins, so teams can use the same workspace for thumbnail pulls, transcription, and other nontechnical tasks.

fal added Grok Imagine Video 1.5, and creator posts immediately tested it against Seedance 2.0 and Gemini Omni on fight scenes, lip-sync, and reference-driven clips. The early comparisons put it into the serious creator model mix, but not clearly ahead of Seedance in real-world use.
