Sonilo and fal Launch Sound Effects 1.0 for Realistic Sound Effects from Video and Text

Exclusive API co-launch brings Video-to-Sound Effects and Text-to-Sound Effects generation to developers through fal

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sonilo, a generative audio company building video-native sound and music models, and fal, the generative media platform for developers and enterprises, today announced the launch of Sonilo Sound Effects 1.0, a new model that generates highly realistic sound effects from video or text.


Sonilo x fal

With video input, Sound Effects 1.0 analyzes what is happening on screen and generates one finished audio track synced to the motion, timing and scene. With text input, developers and creators can describe a specific sound effect and generate it directly.

fal will serve as the model’s exclusive API launch partner during its initial launch period, providing developers with day zero access through fal’s production-ready infrastructure.

Sound Effects 1.0 is designed to address one of the most persistent gaps in AI video production: footage can look complete while still requiring significant manual work before it sounds complete.

When given a video, the model analyzes on-screen motion, scene context, environments, and timing before generating audio that follows what is happening on screen.

Instead of returning a collection of disconnected audio assets that still need to be placed and aligned one by one, Sound Effects 1.0 can produce a synchronized audio track that is ready to review, refine and add to the edit.

“Sound effects only work when they feel like they belong in the scene,” said Trista Hong, Co-Founder of Sonilo. “Sound Effects 1.0 was built around that complete problem: understanding the footage, generating realistic audio, and synchronizing it automatically. We’re excited to launch it together with fal and bring video-native sound into real production workflows.”

A Sound Model Built Around the Video

Traditional sound-design workflows typically begin outside the footage. Editors search sound libraries, preview multiple assets, place them on a timeline, align each effect to the appropriate frame, adjust levels and repeat the process across every action in the scene.

Sound Effects 1.0 begins with the video itself.

The model uses the footage as both a source of semantic information and the timing foundation for the generated audio. It determines what is happening in the scene, what sounds are appropriate for those events and when those sounds should occur.

This video-native approach is particularly useful for scenes containing multiple actions, transitions, impacts and environmental details. Rather than requiring creators to build the sound layer one asset at a time, the model can generate audio around the structure of the footage as a whole.

Sound Effects 1.0 supports video inputs of up to three minutes, making it suitable for short-form content, advertisements, gaming footage, product videos and longer narrative scenes.

Automatic Generation When Speed Matters, Prompt Control When Direction Matters

Sound Effects 1.0 supports two complementary generation workflows.

Video-to-Sound-Effects analyzes uploaded footage and generates sound effects matched to its visible actions, environments and timing.

Text-to-Sound-Effects generates specific standalone sounds from written descriptions, giving creators and developers direct control when they need a particular audio asset.

Prompts are optional in the video workflow. Users can allow the model to interpret footage automatically or provide a prompt requesting a particular sound, emphasis or creative direction.

The prompt helps shape what the model generates, while the video continues to determine when the sound should occur.

This gives users two practical modes of working: automatic sound generation when speed and coverage are the priority, and prompt-guided generation when a scene requires more precise creative control.

Bringing Video-Native Sound Generation to Developers through fal

The co-launch gives developers access to Sound Effects 1.0 through fal’s generative media infrastructure, allowing video-conditioned sound generation to be incorporated directly into products and production workflows.

Developers can use the model to build synchronized sound generation into:

  • AI video editors and generation platforms;
  • Short-form and social video tools;
  • Advertising and branded-content workflows;
  • Game prototypes, gameplay videos and cinematics;
  • Film and narrative-production pipelines; and
  • Multimodal creator products that combine video, music and sound.

“We’re entering a new era where AI applications don’t just generate assets, they produce complete experiences,” said Tina Sang, Head of Marketing at fal. “Sound is fundamental to making those experiences believable. Sonilo Sound Effects 1.0 helps developers generate context-aware, synchronized audio that matches what’s happening on screen, and we’re very excited to bring it to fal, day zero.”

The integration is designed to let teams move from initial testing to product deployment without building and operating a separate model-serving stack. Developers can access the model through fal’s API and developer tooling while keeping sound generation inside the same environment as their broader generative media workflows.

Expanding the Sonilo and fal Partnership

The launch expands an existing relationship between Sonilo and fal.

Sonilo Music v1.1 is already available through fal, giving developers access to both Video-to-Music and Text-to-Music generation. Sound Effects 1.0 extends that integration from generated music into highly realistic, video-conditioned sound effects.

Using the same source footage, creators and developers can generate sound effects around visible actions and environments, then generate music informed by the video’s pacing, scene changes, mood and timing.

This creates a broader video-first audio workflow in which a single video can serve as the timing foundation for both sound design and music. Sound effects can follow what happens on screen, while music can follow the emotional and structural movement of the edit.

By connecting both layers around the source footage, Sonilo aims to reduce manual synchronization, repetitive asset placement and unnecessary switching between separate audio tools.

Built for Real Production Workflows

For AI video creators, Sound Effects 1.0 can add action cues, environmental details, movement and transitions to generated footage that otherwise arrives without usable audio.

For high-volume creators and gaming channels, the model can reduce repetitive timeline work across content requiring dense sound design, including impacts, interface sounds, room tone and movement.

For filmmakers and narrative teams, it can generate scene-level elements such as footsteps, doors, physical interactions and ambience directly from an edit.

For brands and advertising teams, it can produce precisely timed audio around product interactions, camera transitions, packaging moments and visual reveals.

For platforms and API products, it provides a way to add video-conditioned sound generation without requiring users to leave the product and assemble audio in a separate editing workflow.

About Sonilo

Sonilo builds video-native generative audio models for creators, developers and media platforms. Its technology generates music and sound effects directly from footage or text, helping teams bring audio into the video-creation workflow and reduce manual timeline work. Sonilo is headquartered in San Francisco and backed by B Capital.

Gorilla Technology Accelerates Execution Across its Asian AI Infrastructure Platform


– Recent capital raising supports the execution of signed and developing AI infrastructure programmes –
Yotta deployments progressing ahead of current internal schedules –
– Korat 200MW AI data-centre campus advances through power, engineering and customer engagement workstreams –

London, United Kingdom – Newsfile Corp. – July 21, 2026 – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global provider of AI-driven infrastructure, security intelligence and data solutions, today announced that the completion of its two recent bond financings, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $232 million, is enabling the Company to accelerate execution across its AI infrastructure programmes in India, Indonesia and Thailand. The most recent financing is being deployed principally towards the NeutraDC Batam programme while the earlier financing supports Gorilla’s equity contribution to the Yotta 2 programme.

Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology, said: “There has been considerable market attention on the financing instrument but a lack of focus on the signed commercial programme that the financing enables. What should shareholders focus on? Not the financing itself, but the hundreds of millions of dollars in annualized revenue those financings have made possible.

This is not capital raised in the hope that Gorilla will subsequently find a customer or identify a project. The customer contract is signed, the data-centre capacity has been secured and the deployment programme is moving into execution. The financing provides the capital required to connect those elements and begin delivery.

The market is entitled to scrutinise every financing. Management is equally responsible for explaining what that financing supports. In this case, our $125 million capital raise is helping Gorilla execute a signed contract representing approximately $2.5 billion of expected revenue over five years alongside separate financing offers covering approximately 70% of expected project costs.

Growth on this scale cannot be funded by rhetoric. It requires disciplined access to capital, strong counterparties and capital deployed against contracted demand. That is precisely what Gorilla is doing.

Capital is not the destination. It is the bridge between signed customer demand and revenue-generating infrastructure.

I will not allow short-term market volatility to distract us from the work in front of us. Our focus is deployment, revenue, cash generation and profitability. The bonds are a financing instrument. The measure of this management team will be the business we build with them.”

Bruce Bower, Chief Financial Officer of Gorilla Technology, said: “Across the two recent financings, Gorilla has secured approximately $232 million of long-term corporate capital to support the GPUaaS programme.

We continue to match corporate equity, project-level debt, asset-backed financing, and operating cash flows to the specific requirements and duration of each project.

As deployments become operational, our objective is to use the cash generated by the underlying projects to support subsequent phases of growth and progressively reduce the amount of corporate-level capital required.”

Indonesia: NeutraDC Batam Remains on Schedule

The NeutraDC Batam programme remains on schedule. The Company’s most recent financing provided the corporate equity capital required to make advance payments, secure committed data-centre capacity and commence equipment procurement, logistics, integration and mobilisation for the initial deployment phases.

The first phase is expected to be deployed in two tranches, with the initial tranche targeted for September 2026 and the second targeted for December 2026. The remaining contracted capacity is expected to be delivered during the first half of 2027.

Revenue is expected to commence as contracted capacity is deployed and accepted in accordance with the customer agreement.

The programme supports a signed five-year AI compute infrastructure contract representing approximately $2.5 billion of expected revenue, including approximately $1.3 billion from its first phase.

India: Yotta Deployments Advancing Ahead of Schedule

The Company’s earlier financing was raised principally to support Gorilla’s equity contribution to the Yotta 2 programme, which is structured to support the deployment of 20,736 next-generation GPUs in New Delhi, India. Deployment activities for Gorilla’s Yotta 1 and Yotta 2 programmes in India are progressing ahead of the Company’s current internal schedules.

For Yotta 1, the Company is advancing the installation, integration, networking and operational-readiness work required to bring the initial GPU infrastructure into service. The current programme comprises 640 high-performance servers with 5,120 GPUs.

Gorilla has funded the initial mobilisation and deployment expenditure for Yotta 1 from its existing cash resources. The Yotta 1 programme is expected to contribute approximately $500 million of revenue over five years. The 640 servers are expected to be built, shipped and deployed by end of August 2026.

Work on Yotta 2 is also advancing across engineering, site readiness, infrastructure architecture, equipment planning and deployment sequencing. The programme is structured to support the planned deployment of an additional 20,736 next-generation GPUs in Delhi and has an estimated project value of approximately $2.5 billion under the current commercial framework.

The progress across both programmes reflects increasingly close coordination between Gorilla, Yotta, equipment providers, integration teams and financing partners.

Why the Recent Financings Matter

Gorilla’s two recent financings raised capital that provides the corporate equity component required to unlock substantially larger project-level and asset-backed financing packages.

Large infrastructure programmes are not ordinarily financed with 100% project debt. Sponsors are required to contribute equity capital before lenders fund the balance. Gorilla’s recent financings provide that equity contribution against signed customer demand and defined deployment programmes.

The Company continues to progress separate debt financing offers covering approximately 70% of expected GPU, networking and related infrastructure costs for the NeutraDC Batam programme.

The latest bonds do not result in the automatic issuance of ordinary shares upon closing. The initial conversion price of approximately $25.48 per ordinary share represent a premium of approximately 52% to Gorilla’s closing share price on July 14, 2026, subject to reset mechanisms previously disclosed by the Company including a potential upward reset.

Thailand: Korat 200MW Campus Advances Towards Commercialisation

At full build-out and utilisation, the 200MW IT-load campus is expected to support approximately 100,000 to 110,000 next-generation GPU equivalents.

Based on current pricing and utilisation assumptions, the fully developed campus has an illustrative gross revenue potential of approximately $16 billion to $18 billion over five years.

This represents potential rather than contracted revenue and remains subject to customer contracting, financing, final equipment configuration, deployment timing and utilisation.

Gorilla is advancing discussions with prospective customers regarding phased capacity commitments and long-duration offtake arrangements.

Jay Chandan concluded: “The signed programmes and physical deployments that our financing efforts have enabled are the real story.

The recent financings provide the equity capital required to unlock much larger project-level financing packages across Batam and Yotta. Infrastructure programmes of this scale are not financed with rhetoric or 100% debt. They require sponsor capital, disciplined execution and contracted demand.

Across India and Indonesia, Gorilla is moving from contract to deployment. In Thailand, we are advancing the next major stage of our regional platform.

Short-term market volatility does not alter the contracts, the deployment schedules or the underlying commercial opportunity – and certainly not our focus. We will be judged by infrastructure delivered, customers activated, revenue generated, cash collected and sustainable profitability. That is where management’s attention will remain.”

The programme is an initiative that provides young people from lower-income communities with access to sports, investment intelligence and personal development support across 20 public secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. For every RM1,000 deposited by a new user, Moomoo Malaysia will contribute RM10 to NDO as part of the initiative.

While retail investing participation in Malaysia continues to grow, young Malaysians remain underrepresented in the investment landscape. According to Bursa Malaysia, investors aged 18 to 35 account for just 20% of the country’s active retail investor base. At the same time, studies have consistently highlighted persistent gaps in financial literacy among younger demographics, reinforcing the need for greater access to education, capability-building and long-term financial empowerment.

Investing in Malaysia’s Youth

This partnership reflects a shared belief between Moomoo Malaysia and the Nicol David Organisation that success — whether in sport, education or investing — is built on strong foundations, discipline, consistency and access to the right opportunities. NDO’s Smart Mooves programme, which focuses on students above 16, is a four-week curriculum that blends physical activity with investment education, equipping participants with essential money management and planning skills from an early age. By investing in young Malaysians today, both organisations hope to nurture a generation that is more confident, capable and prepared to pursue its ambitions.

“Two million downloads is more than a milestone for Moomoo Malaysia. It represents millions of Malaysians taking a step towards building their financial future,” said Indy Lau, Chief Operating Officer of Moomoo Malaysia. “As we celebrate this achievement, we wanted to create something meaningful that gives back to the community that has supported our growth. Through our partnership with the Nicol David Organisation, we hope to help more young Malaysians take their first step towards achieving their own ambitions, regardless of their background or circumstances.”

Founded by eight-time world squash champion Datuk Nicol David and Mariana De Reyes, the Nicol David Organisation is a non-profit foundation dedicated to empowering women, girls and boys through sport, education, mental health and community development. Through programmes such as Smart Mooves, Little Legends and Positive Play (+ Play), NDO supports children and families from underserved communities by providing the skills, knowledge and support systems needed to build brighter futures.

“We are deeply grateful to Moomoo Malaysia for its support of our mission to empower young people and help them realise their full potential,” said Datuk Nicol David, Founder of the Nicol David Organisation. “This partnership will create meaningful opportunities for students and families, while reinforcing the importance of education, resilience and lifelong learning. We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the communities we serve.”

A Growing Platform for Malaysian Investors

The two-million-download milestone reflects Moomoo Malaysia’s growing position as one of the country’s leading digital investing platforms and highlights the increasing number of Malaysians seeking access to global markets, investing tools and financial education resources.

Today, investors on the Moomoo platform can access a broad range of investment products across multiple markets, including Malaysian stocks, U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, stock options, REITs, warrants and fractional shares. These are complemented by advanced investing tools such as Moomoo AI, Level 2 market data and an active investor community designed to support informed investment decision-making.

The two-million download milestone follows Moomoo Malaysia’s recognition at the Bursa Malaysia Excellence Awards 2025, where it was named Second Runner-Up for Best Retail Equities Participating Organisation (Non-Investment Bank). The recognition reflects the company’s continued efforts to raise the standard of digital investing through technology, education and customer experience.
