Runway

Runway AI, Inc. is an American generative AI company based in New York City, focused on research and commercial products for synthesizing video, images, and other multimedia. The lab is best known for its text-to-video and video-to-video generative models, which have helped define the modern AI filmmaking and creative tooling category.

The Venice catalog includes four Runway video models, all generation-4 family entries. Runway Gen-4 Turbo and Runway Gen-4 Aleph, both released in 2026, anchor the lineup as faster and more controllable variants, while Runway Gen-4.5 (available in both standard and text-conditioned configurations, released April 2026) represents the most recent and capable generation available here.

Runway sits at the product-focused end of the AI landscape, shipping proprietary, closed-weight video models aimed at filmmakers, designers, and creative studios rather than open research releases. Its presence on Venice is exclusively video generation, complementing text and image models offered by other providers.
