## AI overview

DigitalOcean announces four multimodal AI models from fal in public preview on the Gradient AI Platform through Serverless Inference. The models support image generation, audio generation, and multilingual text-to-speech through an API.

## Source excerpt

We're excited to announce the launch of four multimodal AI models from fal on the DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform, now available in public preview through Serverless Inference. These models allow you to generate images and audio directly via API, without worrying about infrastructure, scaling, or vendor management. With this release, building AI-powered applications that include visual and audio content is easier than ever. Explore the new models The fal models, now in public preview, cover a variety of modalities, enabling you to experiment, prototype, and deploy multimodal AI features quickly: Image generation: Stable Diffusion XL fast (fal-ai/fast-sdxl) - High-resolution image generation FLUX.1 (schnell) (fal-ai/flux/schnell) - Fast image generation for quick prototyping Audio generation: Stable Audio (fal-ai/stable-audio-25/text-to-audio) - Convert text into natural-sounding audio ElevenLabs TTS Multilingual v2 9 (fal-ai/elevenlabs/tts/multilingual-v2) - Multilingual text-to-speech These models are available via Serverless Inference, letting you generate images and audio through the same simple API-driven workflow you already use on Gradient AI Platform. Try it out You can start using these models through the Serverless Inference API (https://inference.do-ai.run) after opting in to the public preview in the DigitalOcean console. Here's a quick look at how to interact with them: First, opt in to the public preview to access the fal models on the Gradient AI Platform. Once opting in, it should take about 10 to 15 minutes for your access to be granted. Example: Generate an Image export MODEL_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_KEY" curl -sS -X POST 'https://inference.do-ai.run/v1/async-invoke' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $MODEL_ACCESS_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model_id": "fal-ai/flux/schnell", "input": { "prompt": "A high-quality photo of a futuristic city at sunset" } }' Example: Generate an Image with Customized Parameters export MODEL_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_
