inference partner has deprecated BiRefNet

[bghira]

hello. the Fal endpoint of BiRefNet now has a deprecation notice, but they are still listed as the official inference partner.

however, Runware actually uses BiRefNet by default, and at the lowest cost out of any providers we surveyed.

maybe the link can be updated so that users still have a functional place to run this service. thoughts?

Thanks for mentioning it! I've sent msg to the guys at FAL. By the way, I cannot see any text referring to BiRefNet in your link...

ah i gave the wrong link. it is background removal but yeah i guess it doesn't mention it on that page 🤔

BiRefNet support is added on the API, but documentation will be updated today with the new changes, the current one is using the old rembg 1.4 method

They moved the page to https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/birefnet/v2 with the latest weights. The previous one used is: https://huggingface.co/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet-legacy.
