DigitalOcean, the comprehensive agentic cloud, and fal, a leading multimodal AI platform for generative media, have expanded their strategic partnership to streamline generative AI content creation. This initiative makes fal's advanced, high-performance models for image and voice generation more accessible to startups and enterprises via DigitalOcean's global developer community and over 640,000 customers. Through the DigitalOcean Gradient AI Platform, fal hosts and operates hundreds of its models on DigitalOcean's infrastructure, supporting diverse creative and enterprise applications.
This collaboration integrates fal's cutting-edge models seamlessly into the Gradient AI Platform, reducing barriers for developers building generative AI applications. By leveraging DigitalOcean's reliable infrastructure, fal can prioritize model innovation, while users gain API-driven access to tools for transforming images and audio without handling complex scaling or deployment.
The partnership bolsters DigitalOcean's AI Ecosystem by adding fal to a roster of leading technologies, providing startups and enterprises with a comprehensive suite for full-stack AI development. This expansion simplifies operational challenges, allowing focus on innovation in generative media for creative industries and enterprise workflows.
In public preview, fal's models support high-resolution, fast image generation alongside text-to-audio and multilingual speech features. Developers can experiment and deploy via serverless inference, accelerating time-to-market for AI-powered content creation while maintaining performance and cost efficiency.
“This partnership is a great catalyst for our mission to accelerate the future of AI-generated content,” said Gorkem Yurtseven, Chief Technology Officer at fal. “By offering our models on the Gradient AI Platform, we are putting the market's most performant generative media tools directly into the hands of a global developer community to spark the next wave of innovation. In addition, knowing that our platform is hosted on DigitalOcean's reliable, scalable infrastructure, fal can focus on building our high-performance generative media models."
“DigitalOcean’s partnership with fal exemplifies what the DigitalOcean AI Ecosystem is designed to do—provide developers access to advanced AI capabilities while simplifying the operational complexity of AI infrastructure,” said DigitalOcean’s Chief Ecosystem and Growth Officer Wade Wegner. “Together, we’re enabling developers to integrate high-performance, multimodal AI models into their applications faster and more reliably.”
Product engineers from both companies will demonstrate the models during a workshop at fal’s Generative Media Conference on October 24, 2025, at 4:15 PM PDT, offering practical insights for implementation.
Developers can begin integrating fal models today through the Gradient AI Platform, with resources available in the announcement blog.
