I think the role of the Software Engineer is evolving into a Product Engineer. LLM tools have made writing code easier than ever. The real bottleneck isn't implementation anymore - it's deciding what to build and how the UX should work. That's why I've been spending more of my time learning design and product skills. The most impactful engineers will be the ones who can shape products, not just ship features.

Boom

H3 Max Lip Sync is now live on fal. Upload one photo and one audio clip and get back a lip-synced video in seconds, with natural expression and movement, in any language. In our evals, H3 Max Lip Sync ranks #1 for both quality and speed, with a median generation time of just 11 seconds. Try it now on fal.

I knew this 10 second clip switches from real to AI and watched for the cut. Couldn't find it. Then I was told the exact frame and I still can't see it.

Did a new genre of video games just launch?

Lots of fun

We're putting $250,000 in credits behind people building on H3 Max Director, the only frontier model that natively generates continuous, uninterrupted streams of any length. Open the playground, make something wild: a product, a 24/7 Twitch stream, anything you can imagine. Then tag @fal in your launch post to claim your share.

As a kid, I always wished Pokémon battles in the games could play out like they do in the anime. So I built a real-time Pokémon battle experience with @fal H3 Max. choose a move, the game calculates the outcome, and AI generates the animation on the fly. Paralysis, fainting, and Pokémon is hurt are reflected on screen. Project:github.com/xflare-bot/pokemo…

There’s football tonight.

This is my new favorite playground page, can't wait to see what people build with it

Cause sometimes fast ain't fast enough

Taking any and all fal.live feature requests - what do you want to see? What do you want to be able to do?

if you're a creator and you want to build something with h3 max live, comment below and we'll try and support!

i've been using minimax h3 max to make interactive games you control! all the decisions are up to you, and since the model is so fast there's basically no delays

Welcome to the internet, have a look around

How about a D&D campaign where chat votes on each decision point, and the story keeps building from there.

This is actually insane. So many bits of nextgen fal tech coming together. Huge team effort here. You really gotta try this. Reminds me of the first time I starting using stable diffusion and realized I was looking at the future.

Here we goooo

Modern choose your own adventure

Speed is easy when you ignore quality. I can generate random pixels under 1 nanosecond and claim to be ♾x faster than H3 and call it H3-ultra-lightning-fast. But this is not how people should innovate on speed in open. Image and video models are notoriously hard to optimize and we @ fal spend 2-3x more time on evals and making sure optimizations work than actual kernel engineering work. But when you see people claiming they are X times faster than original while messing the quality to a degree that the outputs has nothing to do with original model, it is annoying. Numbers below are for this case, but this is not the first/only one doing it. I'd recommend the authors below, and everyone on the field to run their own evals. Without preference and quality evals in the loop, ai-slop-performance agents can just lead you into a way you generate random pixels and it is just dishonest to call it anything but a random-pixel-generator.
