AI University Hits 90 Providers: Adding fal.ai and Fish Audio

The AI University feature of Jibun Corp just hit 90 providers. Two media AI platforms join the roster:

fal.ai — 1,000+ generative AI models under one API key
Fish Audio — Enterprise TTS + instant voice cloning in 70+ languages

fal.ai: The Multi-Modal GPU Cloud

fal.ai is a unified generative media platform. One API key, one interface — images, video, audio, 3D.

import fal_client

result = fal_client.subscribe("fal-ai/flux/schnell", {
    "prompt": "A futuristic cityscape at sunset",
})
print(result["images"][0]["url"])

Key models:

Model	Modality	Highlight
Seedance 2.0	Video	1080p, physics-aware
FLUX.1	Image	Industry-leading quality
Stable Audio Open	Music	Open-source music gen
TripoSR	3D	2-second 2D→3D conversion

Routing tier: Free — great for prototyping and multi-modal apps.

Fish Audio: Voice AI Specialist

Fish Audio delivers enterprise TTS and instant voice cloning from seconds of sample audio.

curl -X POST "https://api.fish.audio/v1/tts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FISH_AUDIO_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"text": "Hello world", "reference_id": "voice_id"}'

Instant voice cloning from a few seconds of audio
70+ languages including Japanese
Real-time streaming TTS — start playback before generation completes
Fish Speech S1 — open-source flagship, self-hostable

Routing tier: Free — ideal for voice assistants and conversational AI.

Why These Two Providers?

Both fal.ai and Fish Audio represent the non-text modalities that most AI university curricula miss. Developers building in 2026 need to understand:

When to use a specialized media API vs. a general LLM
How latency requirements differ between TTS and text chat
Where open-source models (Fish Speech S1, FLUX) beat proprietary ones on cost
