Hosted MCP remains beta.\n\n## Before you call either\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### HyperFrames\n\n1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.\n2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.\n3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, fal video models or HyperFrames?\n\nfal video models scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against HyperFrames's 39.1 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-hyperframes.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-hyperframes.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"fal-video\", \"b\": \"hyperframes\"}`.
