Runway launches AI model router as generative media gets crowded
TechCrunch 2 months ago 17 ● 2 sources
Runway launched Media Router, a tool that automatically selects the best generative media model for developers based on priorities like quality, speed, or cost, positioning itself as infrastructure rather than just a model company. The router integrates multiple third-party image, video, and audio models through Runway Dev, Runway's developer platform launched earlier this month. This shift reflects Runway's transition from a consumer AI video tool to a B2B infrastructure layer as generative media models have proliferated and competition intensified.
