frequentlyaskedquestions
How is Runware different from other AI providers?
Runware provides a unified API for all generative models across image, video, audio, text, and more. The platform runs on our proprietary Sonic Inference Engine®, a fully custom hardware and software stack built specifically for AI inference. Because we operate our own inference engine end to end, Runware delivers higher throughput, lower latency, and lower cost than traditional cloud GPU providers or inference platforms that sit on top of them.
Is Runware really cheaper?
Yes. Thanks to the Sonic Inference Engine® and efficiencies this brings Runware offers inference at up to 90% lower cost than other providers. For open-source models we typically achieve 40% faster performance and up to 10× lower price. For closed-source models we often provide 10–40% lower pricing due to our bulk-execution advantage. Pricing is transparent, fully on demand, and consistently the lowest in the industry.
What makes Runware so fast?
Runware’s speed comes from custom AI hardware engineered from the ground up for inference. This includes high-density GPU layouts, custom PCBs, advanced cooling, optimized power distribution, and software tuned for maximum throughput. All components work together inside the Sonic Inference Engine®, enabling extremely low latency, high efficiency, and performance that generic cloud GPU setups cannot match.
What models does Runware support?
Runware supports 400k+ preloaded generative AI models, with more added frequently across new modalities. For open-source models, Runware provides full flexibility over all parameters. You can mix, match, and customize settings without limits. Nothing is artificially restricted for speed and there are no hidden caching systems that alter outputs or reduce controllability. Everything is opt-in or opt-out. You can also run custom or fine-tuned models through our API, including LoRAs, checkpoints, safetensors, and many other architectures. You can test any supported model instantly in our Playground before integrating the API into your product.
Can I use Runware for commercial projects?
Yes. All models on Runware include a commercial license by default. Anything you generate on Runware can be used commercially without needing to secure additional rights from model creators. Runware handles all licensing requirements on your behalf, so you can build and ship products confidently at any scale.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Runware never repurposes your inputs or outputs for training. Uploaded and generated content is automatically purged from our servers unless you explicitly request us to store it. Your data always belongs to you and is never reused, resold, or used for any other purpose.
Does Runware support enterprise workloads?
Yes. Runware supports production apps and enterprise deployments requiring high throughput, predictable latency, and guaranteed performance. We offer fully managed infrastructure, dedicated capacity, custom SLAs, priority routing, and volume-based pricing for teams operating at scale. If you need tailored capacity or long-term pricing, you can Contact Sales to discuss enterprise options.
Runware fits into real workflows
Built for speed, scale, and trust. Here's what real people say about shipping with Runware.
Angus Russell
Founder of NightCafe
Great pricing and API flexibility. Our users want to try every model, hyperparameter, LoRA and option. Other providers scatter these across different endpoints. Runware unifies them all.
