Runware provides access to thousands of AI models for image, video, audio generation, and utility tasks through a unified API. The platform uses custom-designed hardware and the Sonic Inference Engine to deliver sub-second inference times for high-quality media output. It supports instant model switching across over 300,000 models, text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformations, inpainting, outpainting, ControlNet integration, multiple LoRAs, embeddings, and custom VAEs. Additional capabilities include PhotoMaker for personalized images, automatic masking, background removal, upscaling, and refiners. The task-based API enables asynchronous processing and seamless integration into workflows, with support for custom model uploads and ComfyUI nodes.
