product community-consensus
Marey is most commonly pronounced "mair ee" (/ˈmɛri/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.
Marey is Moonvalley's foundational AI video model (beta March 2025, GA July 2025), trained exclusively on licensed footage and marketed as the first "commercially safe" model for professional filmmaking; API available via fal.ai. Named after 19th-century French chronophotographer Étienne-Jules Marey. Fast Company and other press state it is pronounced exactly like the given name "Mary" — MAIR-ee, stress on the first syllable. The common mistake is a French-style "mah-RAY" (/maˈreɪ/) or spelling-based "MAR-ee," non-obvious because the honoree's French surname is [maʁɛ] (ma-REH) yet the product deliberately anglicizes to "Mary."

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
