One API for all AI.
We run infra
while you ship.
Build AI features across image, video, audio, 3D and LLMs. The lowest-cost API on the market, no infrastructure to manage.
Go live in hours.
Platform benefits
All AI models
Integrate once. Access thousands of models across every modality.
- No vendor sprawl
- No fragmented tooling
- Open and proprietary, side by side
Lowest cost
AI driven by custom hardware and a proprietary inference engine.
- Up to 10× lower cost per generation
- No quality tradeoff
- Pay per request, no commitments
Instant scale
Ship to millions of users in days, not months.
- No infrastructure setup
- No capacity planning
- Auto-routed across regions
The runtime layer for AI, by the numbers
Platform scale and reach
Any use case. Any task.
Every model, every provider, same auth and billing. Switching model is a string change.
Image generation & editing
Every popular image model on one endpoint. Open source like Flux and Stable Diffusion sit beside the frontier closed-source models from OpenAI, Google and ByteDance.
- Switch model with a string
- Edit, upscale and background removal built in

Request → Route → Optimize → Execute.
Four layers between your call and a response. The orchestration layer and our Inference Pods together form the Sonic Inference Engine®. A fully custom hardware and software stack, built specifically for AI inference.
The stack you already ship on.
Let an agent do the wiring. Connect Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client, drop in your API key, and be up and running in minutes. Every model is documented with a JSON schema. The full docs are written for LLMs to read end to end.
Ship to millions of users in days. Not months.
Global infrastructure on demand. Low-latency inference where your users are, with no GPUs to provision. Pay as you go. No contract lock-in.
FAQs
A fully custom hardware and software stack, built specifically for AI inference. We tune it from BIOS and kernel up, run models on hardware we own, and keep them preloaded across regions. Because we operate the engine end to end, you get higher throughput and lower latency than generic cloud GPUs, at lower cost.
One auth, one endpoint, one bill. Switching model is a string change. Image, video, audio, 3D, vision and LLM chat all hit the same POST /v1. Connect over REST, or use WebSockets for persistent connections. If you have your own weights, you can upload LoRAs, checkpoints, safetensors and LyCORIS through Model Upload.
Pay per request. No subscriptions, no commitments. Open-source models are billed on optimised compute time, so faster generations automatically cost less. Closed-source and partner models are fixed per-request, at rates we negotiate down with the provider. In practice, open-source typically runs up to 10× cheaper and 40% faster than other providers; closed-source lands 10–40% below the published rates thanks to bulk-execution. The slider above is live against competitor pricing.
400K+ open and proprietary models, including Flux 2, Veo 3.1, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.4, Llama, Qwen and DeepSeek, plus a wide range of vision models. You can also bring your own LoRAs, checkpoints, safetensors and LyCORIS through Model Upload. Nothing is artificially restricted for speed, and there's no hidden caching that alters outputs.
Official models on Runware include commercial usage rights under our partner agreements, so you can use leading models in production without worrying about separate licence fees. For community models, commercial use is governed by the licence published by the model creator. We always link to the source so the terms are easy to review.
Inputs and outputs are never used for training. Encrypted in transit. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, GDPR aligned. Generated content is automatically purged from our servers unless you explicitly opt in to storage. Your data always belongs to you and is never reused, resold, or used for any other purpose.
Enterprise plans come with managed infrastructure, dedicated capacity, custom SLAs, priority routing, volume-based pricing, 24/7 on-call engineering, and a shared support channel. Contact sales to scope it.
