# GuruFocus — Fal reportedly seeking a new round

GURUFOCUS.COM Latest News Current Article Fal and Fireworks AI Seek New Funding Rounds Amid Revenue Surge GuruFocus News 09/25/2026 18:30 + GuruFocus.com on Startups like Fal and Fireworks AI, which provide AI model and server calling services, are experiencing significant revenue growth, attracting renewed investor interest. Fal, which focuses on inference services for image and video generation models like Google's Nano Banana, is negotiating a new funding round with a target valuation of $15 billion, potentially increasing to between $17 billion and $20 billion. This comes as the company's annual revenue has surged to $800 million, doubling since March. Meanwhile, Fireworks AI, the leading inference service provider by revenue, is also exploring new financing options, aiming for a valuation of $30 billion, nearly doubling its previous valuation from July. The company has recently completed a stock sale led by Atreides Capital, maintaining a $17.5 billion valuation. Its annual revenue has reached $1 billion, quadrupling from a year ago. Other inference service providers, such as Baseten and Modal, are also in discussions for new funding, reflecting a booming market for startups that leverage open-source AI technologies. However, increasing competition from closed-source model providers like OpenAI may pressure these companies' margins, which historically hover around 50%.
