Runway Media Router Treats U.S. and Chinese Model Providers as Selectable Backends

Runway launched Media Router on July 23, 2026, via its Runway Dev API platform. The tool auto-selects among image, video, and audio models — including both American and Chinese providers — based on developer priorities like quality, speed, or cost. Customers include Adobe, Cloudflare, and Shutterstock. Runway frames provider origin as a configuration parameter, not a strategic boundary.
