fal has integrated image editing support for MAI-Image-2.5, a photorealistic image generation and editing model developed by Microsoft. This update follows the platform's recent MAI-Image-2.5 integration, now adding a dedicated endpoint for image-to-image transformations. The system uses inference (running a trained model to generate outputs) to modify uploaded images based on natural language prompts.
