Runway

Runway provides AI media generation: text-to-image, image-to-video, video upscaling, and character performance. Each capability has specific models; outputs are generated asynchronously or in real time.

Data Model

• Organization — account context; billing and usage.
• Generations — images or videos from prompts; may be async (poll for status).
• Models — per capability: gen4_image, gen4_turbo, veo3.1, gen4_aleph, act_two, etc.

Gotchas

• Model selection: Each endpoint supports different models. Use gen4_image for images, gen4_turbo or veo3.1 for video. New models ship frequently; check docs for latest.
• Async video: Video generation is async; poll for completion before fetching output.
• API version: API version is fixed in headers; updates may require version bump.
