Fal
OpenClaw ships a bundled fal provider for hosted image and video generation.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider | fal |
| Auth | FAL_KEY (canonical; FAL_API_KEY also works as a fallback) |
| API | fal model endpoints |
Getting started
- Set the API key
openclaw onboard --auth-choice fal-api-key - Set a default image model
{ agents: { defaults: { imageGenerationModel: { primary: "fal/fal-ai/flux/dev", }, }, }, }
Image generation
The bundled fal image-generation provider defaults to
fal/fal-ai/flux/dev.
| Capability | Value |
|---|---|
| Max images | 4 per request |
| Edit mode | Enabled, 1 reference image |
| Size overrides | Supported |
| Aspect ratio | Supported |
| Resolution | Supported |
| Output format | png or jpeg |
The fal image edit endpoint does not support aspectRatio overrides.
Use outputFormat: "png" when you want PNG output. fal does not declare an
explicit transparent-background control in OpenClaw, so background: "transparent" is reported as an ignored override for fal models.
To use fal as the default image provider:
{
agents: {
defaults: {
imageGenerationModel: {
primary: "fal/fal-ai/flux/dev",
},
},
},
}
Video generation
The bundled fal video-generation provider defaults to
fal/fal-ai/minimax/video-01-live.
| Capability | Value |
|---|---|
| Modes | Text-to-video, single-image reference, Seedance reference-to-video |
| Runtime | Queue-backed submit/status/result flow for long-running jobs |
