OpenClaw ships a bundled fal provider for hosted image, video, and music generation.
PropertyValue
Providerfal
AuthFAL_KEY (canonical; FAL_API_KEY also works as a fallback)
APIfal model endpoints

Getting started

1

Set the API key

openclaw onboard --auth-choice fal-api-key
2

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.
CapabilityValue
Max images4 per request
Edit modeFlux: 1 reference image; GPT Image 2: 10; Nano Banana 2: 14
Size overridesSupported
Aspect ratioSupported for generate and GPT Image 2/Nano Banana 2 edit
ResolutionSupported
Output formatpng or jpeg
Flux image-to-image requests do not support aspectRatio overrides. GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 edit requests use fal’s /edit endpoint and accept aspect-ratio hints.
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.
CapabilityValue
ModesText-to-video, single-image reference, Seedance reference-to-video
RuntimeQueue-backed submit/status/result flow for long-running jobs
HeyGen video-agent:
  • fal/fal-ai/heygen/v2/video-agent
Seedance 2.0:
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/fast/text-to-video
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/fast/image-to-video
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/fast/reference-to-video
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/image-to-video
  • fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/reference-to-video
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      videoGenerationModel: {
        primary: "fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/fast/text-to-video",
      },
    },
  },
}
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      videoGenerationModel: {
        primary: "fal/bytedance/seedance-2.0/fast/reference-to-video",
      },
    },
  },
}
Reference-to-video accepts up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio references through the shared video_generate images, videos, and audioRefs parameters, with at most 12 total reference files.
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      videoGenerationModel: {
        primary: "fal/fal-ai/heygen/v2/video-agent",
      },
    },
  },
}

Music generation

The bundled fal plugin also registers a music-generation provider for the shared music_generate tool.
CapabilityValue
Default modelfal/fal-ai/minimax-music/v2.6
Modelsfal-ai/minimax-music/v2.6, fal-ai/ace-step/prompt-to-audio, fal-ai/stable-audio-25/text-to-audio
RuntimeSynchronous request plus generated audio download
Use fal as the default music provider:
{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      musicGenerationModel: {
        primary: "fal/fal-ai/minimax-music/v2.6",
      },
    },
  },
}
fal-ai/minimax-music/v2.6 supports explicit lyrics and instrumental mode. ACE-Step and Stable Audio are prompt-to-audio endpoints; choose them with the model override when you want those model families.
