description: Runway (RunwayML) is a generative AI media platform whose developer API
  turns text, images, and video into new video, images, speech, and character
  performances. The REST API at https://api.dev.runwayml.com/v1 exposes Runway's
  Gen-4 and Gen-4 Turbo video models, Gen-4 Image text-to-image, the Aleph
  video-to-video editing model, and Act character performance, all through an
  asynchronous create-task-then-poll pattern authenticated with a Bearer API
  secret and a dated X-Runway-Version header. Access is API-key based via a
  developer organization; usage is billed in credits at roughly $0.01 per credit.
