Runway introduced Media Router, a new capability in Runway Dev that automatically selects the best video, image or audio model for each request based on user-defined preferences for cost, quality and latency. The router allows developers to set configs with price caps, allow/deny lists, and optimization preferences, and it returns metadata explaining which model was selected and why. Media Router is live for video, image and audio models in Runway Dev.
