fal uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 26 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What fal does
fal runs generative AI models as a hosted inference service, weighted toward image, video and audio generation. Developers call its API rather than provisioning GPUs themselves, and applications that generate media embed it directly in a product flow. An incident therefore surfaces as a feature that will not produce output inside someone else's application.
What an outage looks like
Generation requests fail or hang, and queued asynchronous jobs stop returning results, so a product feature that creates images or video sits spinning. Because inference is already the slowest step in most flows, a fault reads as ordinary slowness well before it reads as an outage. Dashboard and REST surfaces can fail separately from inference itself.
What to do about it
Check fal's status page and read which group is affected: Model API and Serverless API sit under API, while Dashboard and Serverless Dashboard form the website group. These fail independently, and fal has reported incidents hitting the REST API and web platform without affecting inference. Poll asynchronous jobs already submitted rather than resubmitting them.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says fal is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 18 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request fal's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where fal publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
