Runway Gen-4.5 is the company’s latest flagship text-to-video model, announced December 1, 2025. It’s positioned as an incremental but meaningful evolution

gen4_image is Runway’s flagship multimodal image-generation model in the Gen-4 family that supports prompted generation plus visual references (you can “@mention” reference images) to produce highly controllable, stylistically consistent outputs for image and image→video pipelines.
Runway/upscale_v1 is Runway’s production-targeted video upscaler model (model id upscale_v1) designed to increase video resolution by 4× up to 4K (capped at 4096 pixels on a side). It’s available through Runway’s API surface and is also packaged on third-party model hosting marketplaces (e.g., CometAPI).
act_two is Runway’s next-generation AI performance capture and character animation tool: it ingests a short driving performance (a webcam or phone video of someone acting a scene) plus a character reference (image or video) and generates an animated character performance that transfers body, facial expression and hand motion to the character. Act-Two is offered inside Runway’s web product and as a model available through API ecosystem.

Runway Gen-4 Aleph(model id /gen4_aleph) is Runway’s in-context, video-to-video model that extends the Gen-4 family with powerful video editing, shot continuation and view-synthesis capabilities. In plain terms: Aleph can take an input clip and perform complex edits — add/remove/replace objects, relight, restyle, generate novel camera angles, and even generate the “next shot” in a sequence — driven by text prompts and optional reference images. This release is presented as a major step toward coherent, multi-shot video generation and in-context editing.
