Gen-3 Alpha at a glance
Gen-3 Alpha was trained jointly on video and images, added finer control over timing and more realistic people, and was set to power Runway's text-to-video and image-to-video tools.
What changed with Gen-3 Alpha
Runway introduced Gen-3 Alpha on June 17, 2024, the first model trained on its new infrastructure for large-scale multimodal training. It was trained jointly on videos and images and was set to power Runway's Text to Video, Image to Video and Text to Image tools.
Runway highlighted fine-grained temporal control through detailed, time-dense captions, more photorealistic human characters, and compatibility with controls such as Motion Brush, Advanced Camera Controls and Director Mode. It said the release would include new safeguards and C2PA provenance, and that it was building custom versions with entertainment and media companies.
Why Gen-3 Alpha matters for businesses
For agencies and in-house video teams, Gen-3 Alpha was a step toward AI footage that could be directed shot by shot instead of hoping a prompt landed. Custom fine-tuned versions also hinted at brand-consistent characters and styles.
