Fal Secures $1.3B Series F Round, Doubling Valuation to $16B as AI Inference Demand Explodes
San Francisco-based Fal, which hosts AI video, image, and audio models, raised $1.3 billion led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from Nvidia and T. Rowe Price. The deal doubles the company's valuation to $16 billion from $8 billion in April. Demand grew so rapidly that Fal had to rate limit customers this summer, prompting the massive funding round to expand computing power.
