not much to say. pace has been incredible. 4 rounds in 18 months. incredible new investors @sonyatweetybird @mamoonha. all metrics going 🆙 exponentially. new exclusive models. more capital = more GPUs = more people = more investment into gen media. back to work.

Reaching the scale to host your own conference is a massive milestone for a company. Since @fal’s inaugural Generative Media Conference is this Friday, I sat down with @gorkem to dig into the last 3 years of their journey. Their 10/24 conference has an insane speaker lineup with lots of real-world use cases of generative media in action. The preview video below is just one example (we used fal’s platform to create all the visuals). Aside from the fun we had turning me into George Clooney and making a giant 3-ton Roomba cat destroy our podcast studio, what stood out was how far all of these models have come in the last few years -- and how easy it is to get started with fal and play around so many different options. There’s a ton of interesting technical optimizations and developer-focused decisions that made that experience possible, so it was great to hear Gorkem unpack all of their unique company and product building choices. One of the more interesting ones that they hardly ever talk about is their pivot (when I invested back in 2022, it was a completely different product for data teams), so it was fun to get into that story as well. Full conversation below, hope you enjoy it!
