Runway bets on being the infrastructure layer under every generative media model
Runway launched Runway Dev on July 17, a unified API with a model router that automatically selects the best generative media model based on quality, speed, or cost priorities. The platform consolidates Gen-4.5, Veo 3, GPT Image 2, ElevenLabs audio, and more under one integration , a move that positions Runway as infrastructure beneath the model race rather than a participant in it.
