Arrivals: outside models reaching Runway and Higgsfield
Runway and Higgsfield both run their own changelogs and announce outside models in them. These pages list those announcements and set them beside the makers' own dates where one exists. As of 2026-09-25.
An arrival is a platform's note, dated by the platform.
Runway's entries often name the surface an outside model reaches first: the app, the developer API or the MCP server that agents call. Higgsfield's entries more often name a setting: a resolution, early access or a draft mode.
Arrivals cluster late in the period read: sixteen of the register's twenty-one arrival entries fall between July and September 2026.
Two platforms have pages here because each has posted several; Luma's single post, about Seedance 2.5, and Alibaba Cloud Model Studio's listing of Vidu Q3 are on those models' line pages.
The days-after column counts from the maker's own launch note for the same version. Where the maker has no dated note, as with every Seedance version, the column says so rather than guessing.
Runway posted ten arrivals between 7 April and 18 September 2026, Higgsfield nine between 21 June and 22 September. Where both posted the same step, Higgsfield's post came first in five of six cases; the sixth, Wan 3.0, went up on both on the same day.
An arrival tells a user when a model became reachable from a tool they already use, which is often the date that matters to them more than the maker's.

2Where new versions end up
Release notes such as “Arrivals” matter once a pipeline runs the models; SceneMixer's guides describe how it does:
Wan 3.0 is Alibaba Cloud's video generation model on the Model Studio platform, called through an asynchronous submit-then-poll API, in two tiers: the standard wan3.0-video and the faster wan3.0-video-prime.
