Runway Debuts Media Router for Generative Media
Runway launched Media Router, an AI model router on the Runway Dev platform that automatically selects the optimal image, video, or audio model based on quality, speed, or cost, routing requests across Runway's models and third-party options. It marks Runway’s shift toward becoming an infrastructure layer for generative media, offering cost control through token-based pricing, auditing, moderation, and private instances, with early integration from partners like Adobe, Cloudflare, ElevenLabs, Expedia, Shutterstock, and Quora.

About runway
In aviation, a runway is an elongated, rectangular surface designed for the landing and takeoff of an aircraft. Runways may be a human-made surface or a natural surface. Runways, taxiways and ramps, are sometimes referred to as "tarmac", though very few runways are built using tarmac. Takeoff and landing areas defined on the surface of water for seaplanes are generally referred to as waterways. Runway lengths are now commonly given in meters worldwide, except in North America where feet are commonly used.
