Runway ML

Runway is an AI company, founded in December 2018 by Cristobal Valenzuela, Anastasis Germanidis, and Alejandro Matamala, that builds generative models and creative tools for video, image, and audio production. Its flagship offering, Runway Creative, is a cloud platform where users generate and edit media using the company's own models, including Gen-4.5, which Runway describes as its most advanced video model for motion quality. The company says it serves more than 60 million creative users worldwide, spanning filmmakers, designers, and other visual storytellers. Beyond the creative platform, Runway Dev provides API access for developers who want to combine multiple models and modalities into custom pipelines rather than working through the standard web interface. A separate product line, Runway Robotics, applies the company's General World Model, GWM-1, to run policy inference through photorealistic simulation, extending the company's generative technology into robotics training rather than purely creative work. Runway is available as a web application, an iOS app, and an Android app, with a free tier to try the platform before moving to paid plans. The company does not publish detailed pricing or specific integration partners on its homepage, so prospective users need to check the dedicated pricing and developer pages for exact terms.
