we build our sandbox just for this use case, fal.ai/sandbox. take the same image/prompt, and compare across tens of models.

treesciencebot — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 18:46:23 +0000

One interesting feature that gets enabled with open weights is adding new capabilities (tasks) to these editing models. They generalize quite well with low samples (30 ish). We talk about it here https://blog.fal.ai/announcing-flux-1-kontext-dev-inference-...

the main question is going to be software stack. NVIDIA is already shipping NVFP4 kernels and perf is looking good. It took a really long time after MI300X's that the FP8 kernels were OK (not even good, compared to almost perfect FP8 support in NVIDIA side of things).

I will doubt that they will be able to reach %60-70 of the FLOPs in majority of the workloads (unless they hand craft and tune a specific GEMM kernel for their benchmark shape). But would be happy to be proven wrong, and go buy a bunch of them

GH200 is nowhere near $343,000 number. You can get a single server order around 45k (with inception discount). If you are buying bulk, it goes down to sub-30k ish. This comes with a H100's performance and insane amount of high bandwith memory.

at a relatively new high-rise in rincon hill, AT&T still charges 80-90$ for 1 gig symmetrical (same with webpass/xfinity).

For traditional LLMs this might be true (especially large MoEs at bs=1) but I highly disagree with "multi-modal models" phrase since most of the models that output in other modalities are generally compute bound. Which means less flops will make the experience so much worse (imagine waiting a couple minutes for an image and hours for videos).

For anyone that wants to test the original (non-distilled) HunyuanVideo (which is an amazing model) we have 580p version taking under a minute and 720p version taking around 2.5-3 minutes in our playground: https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/hunyuan-video (it requires github login & and is pay-per-use but new accounts get some free credits).

New comment by treesciencebot in "Sora is here"

treesciencebot — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 19:37:52 +0000

Hunyuan at other providers like fal.ai is cheaper than SORA for the same resolution (720p 5 seconds gets you ~15 videos for $20 vs almost 50 videos at fal). It is slower than SORA (~3 minutes for a 720p video) but faster than replicate's hunyuan (by 6-7x for the same settings).

I think the main problem is with 2) since 1 is entirely up to the content creator's discretion.

It excels at particularly text and scene composition, as well as being able to generate vector graphics. You can use it through their website or through fal.ai https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/recraft-v3/playground.
