Common questions
Yes — VEED Fabric 1.0 run on Runware's own optimized compute (the platform's open-weight tier, billed on compute time). Check each model page for license terms before self-hosting.

Production notes
Every price on this page is the model's published rate from the live Runware catalog, using the cheapest listed configuration unless stated otherwise. Prices vary with resolution, duration, quality tier, or token volume, so check the pricing table on each model page before estimating unit economics.
The Runware catalog does not publish per-model latency figures, so this page does not quote end-to-end timings. Where a model's own description commits to speed (for example sub-second generation or realtime streaming), that claim is repeated here. For anything else, benchmark the exact models in the Playground with your own payload sizes before committing to an SLA.
Models are addressed by versioned AIR identifiers, so a workflow pinned to specific model versions keeps producing the same behaviour as new versions ship. Adopt upgrades deliberately by re-running your evaluation set against the new version before switching production traffic.
