Common questions

Yes — GLM-5.3, Kimi K2.6, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, GLM-5.1 and 1 more 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.

Kimi K3, released July 2026 per the live catalog. Membership updates automatically as the catalog publishes new models to this collection.

Gemma 4 31B, from $0.102 per Input tokens / 1M. Prices are read live from the catalog and vary with resolution and configuration — expand any row above to see that model's current pricing.

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.

About this collection

Large language models for general-purpose text generation, reasoning, summarization, and conversation. Capable of understanding complex instructions and producing high-quality, coherent text responses.

Membership comes directly from the Runware catalog: the 21 models on this page are the live catalog's own membership for the "Best LLMs" collection. Names, descriptions, pricing, capability chips, samples, and guides are all read live from the catalog — nothing here is hand-curated.
