Result URLs and task ids expire after 24 hours.\n\n**fal video models.** One key and one queue API reach 137 active text-to-video endpoints, each with a published price, an OpenAPI document and an llms.txt. Billing units, duration formats and audio pricing differ per model, there is no free tier, and a person must sign up in a browser and buy credit.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)\n\n1. Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### fal video models\n\n1. Submit to `queue.fal.run`, keep the `request_id`, then poll `status_url` or set `fal_webhook`. Never resubmit to check progress, because each submit is a new billable job\n2. Read `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before a call. `duration` is the string `\"5\"` on Kling, `\"8s\"` on Veo 3.1 and an integer on Wan 3.0\n3. Set `generate_audio` on purpose. It defaults to true and raises the Kling v3 Pro price from $0.112 to $0.168 a second and Veo 3.1 from $0.20 to $0.40\n4. Check `metadata.status` in `https://api.fal.ai/v1/models` before pinning an endpoint. Deprecated endpoints carry no removal date\n5. Use an API-scope key, never an ADMIN key. A new account runs 2 requests at once, so long video jobs queue behind each other\n6. The MCP relay has no server-side approval gate. Call `get_pricing` and get the owner's approval before `submit_job`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) or fal video models?\n\nfal video models scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)'s 65.1 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
