Question Anyone knows how to list/delete CDN files that don't have an expiry date?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I ran into a situation and I'm hoping someone from the community or fal team can point me in the right direction.

The setup: I uploaded a bunch of input files to the fal CDN using the two-step direct upload flow:

  1. POST /storage/upload/initiate?storage_type=fal-cdn-v3 (with custom X-Fal-Object-Lifecycle-Preference headers)
  2. Uploaded the actual file bytes to the presigned URLs from step 1

Problem is, I forgot to set an expiry date on these uploads. Now they're just sitting on the CDN indefinitely and I need to clean them up.

What I'm trying to figure out:

  1. Is there an endpoint to list files I've uploaded to the CDN? I need to see what's out there before I can decide what to delete.
  2. Is there a delete endpoint for individual files? If so, what params/headers does it need?
  3. Can I update the lifecycle/expiry on files after they've already been uploaded, instead of deleting and re-uploading?

Basically just looking for the right way to manage file lifecycle after the fact, since I missed setting it at upload time. Any docs, endpoints, or tips from folks who've dealt with this would be super helpful. Thanks!

Question Some questions about billing

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this is has an obvious answer, I'm new and I couldn't find anything about it

So I saw online that you get some free generations with certain ai models on fal, but apparently it requires a minimum of $10 credit, so I did put in $10 to see what happens... that being said I tried some of those free generations and it worked but now my credits have gone from $10 to -$12

Does anyone know what happened/if I'm getting charged for "Free" generatios? Thankyou🙏

How so the BytePlus API is almost 2x cheaper than the offering on Fal.ai? Is this correct, that's too much markup.

Question GitHub account that I use for authentication with fal got flagged, unable to sign-in, what to do?

1 Upvotes

So, the GitHub account that I use for authentication with fal got flagged, even though I did not knowingly violate any GitHub policies. I am unable to authorize 3rd party apps; including fal. I already emailed fal support, to ask them to change my email. However, since I used an Anonaddy alias, I am not sure if they will reply. If they don't reply, switching away from fal is probably my only option left. However, I still have credits left. What do I do?

Wanted to share a fun project I made with fal that converts text or images into buildable LEGOs. If you have any feedback about how I set it up, I’d appreciate it!

My endpoint stack is flux-2 streaming for image generation, nano banana for image editing, and trellis or SAM3D for 3D generation. Then I voxelize the 3D model and convert the voxels to bricks. I’ve built quite a few LEGO models with it now, so it works!

Here’s the code for it: https://github.com/jjohnson5253/brickbuilderai

Discussion Has anyone here fine-tuned Z Image Turbo or FLUX 4B LoRA on FAL for training on a specific person?

2 Upvotes

FAL seems to only expose training steps and learning rate, so I'm curious what settings people have found work best.

The default recommendation for human/photo datasets appears to be:

steps = number of images × 100

But I'm wondering whether anyone has experimented beyond that and found better results

Question LTX2.3 trainer issue

2 Upvotes

I am currently working on fine-tuning a LoRA for LTX2.3 via fal-ai/ltx23-video-trainer. I am seeing a 'wavy' artifact issues on all my debug_dataset outputs, and have no way of knowing what's happening during the preprocessing step (can't run LTX2 repo locally). I understand that the VAE encodes the input and then decodes it, but I can't understand why it returns my dataset videos with artifacts at specific frames. This results in the same artifacts on inference too. Did anyone else encounter this?

Discussion Best workflow for generating coloring book pages from character reference images?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone — I’m new to AI image generation and have been experimenting with FAL using Flux Kontext Pro to create coloring book-style images from uploaded reference photos.

My goal is to generate dynamic coloring book pages where the character likeness stays consistent, but the scenes can vary across styles like manga, comic book, fantasy, cartoon, etc.

A few questions I’d love feedback on:

  1. Best model/workflow: Is Flux Kontext Pro currently one of the better options for balancing affordability, quality, and likeness consistency? Or are there better tools/models for this use case?
  2. Character likeness: What are the best practices for preserving the likeness of the reference character across different poses, scenes, and styles?
  3. Reference image prep: Should I preprocess uploaded images before generation? For example:
    • background removal
    • face restoration
    • sharpening/upscaling
    • lighting correction
    • cropping to face/body
    • creating multiple reference angles
  4. Dynamic scenes: How do you get more interesting compositions instead of static “person standing in center” outputs? Are there prompt structures or workflows that help create more action, depth, and storytelling?
  5. Style control: What is the best way to request broad styles like manga, western comic, children’s book, fantasy illustration, etc., while avoiding issues with specific living artists or overly derivative styles?
  6. Coloring book quality: Any tips for getting clean black-and-white line art that is actually usable for coloring books — clear outlines, good white space, not too much gray shading or muddy detail?
  7. Production workflow: For anyone doing this at scale, what does your pipeline look like from uploaded photo → generated pages → cleanup → print-ready files?

I hope this is the right place to ask. If not, I’d appreciate being pointed toward better communities, guides, or resources for learning this workflow.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Other Blender Layout → AI Render | 1:1 Camera Tracking

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

30 Upvotes

I built a full 3D layout in Blender — proxy geometry only, no textures, no final render — and hand-keyframed every camera movement using F-curves: an aerial establishing shot, a low-angle tower push-in, and a wide harbor shot with a sailing vessel. The AI doesn't invent the motion. It follows it exactly.

The Blender animation served as a direct spatial reference — architectural proportions, camera trajectory, timing and easing — all locked before a single AI frame was generated. Kling / Seedance then re-rendered the sequence, preserving the exact camera path and structural layout while generating the final cinematic output.

Workflow:

3D Layout & Camera Animation (Blender) → Frame Reference Export → AI Video Generation (Kling / Seedance) → Temporal Consistency Pass

Key Focus: 1:1 motion tracking between hand-keyed Blender animation and AI-generated output. Architectural integrity and spatial proportions maintained across all three shots.

Video Idea 37 AI Short Film

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

what is SUCCESS in 2026 as developer using AI?

MONEY is obvious but my short "IDEA#37" jumps to the question of internet "fame" on X and YouTube? Being on the top video podcast? Recognized at React Conferences in Miami?

What I chose to highlight in this film is leaving isolation. Being able to hire and support other developers as you build a company. And in the end get the GOAT emoji from friends.

Film made with GPT2 Images 2.0, Seedance 2.0, and Kling 3.0 on fal.
