About
Runway Media Router is described by a YouTube creator (Matt Wolfe) as a preference-optimized router for generative media. The user sets targets for cost, quality and latency, and the router selects a video, image or audio model automatically. It appears to sit within Runway Dev, the company's API platform for building with models from Runway and other labs.
The provided Runway pages do not document the router itself, so details such as supported models, routing logic, request format and pricing are unconfirmed. The Runway pricing page lists a range of models usable through its platform, including Gen-4.5, Aleph 2.0, Kling 4.0, Seedance 2.0 Pro, Gen-4 Image, Nano Banana Pro, Seed Audio 1.0 and Lyria 3, priced in credits. It is not clear which of these the router can choose between.
It is aimed at developers who want to avoid choosing a specific generative media model per request. Anyone considering it should check Runway's developer documentation for current availability and terms.
