What each AI video model's release notes say changed

Outside models arriving on Runway

Runway announced 10 outside video models or settings between 7 April 2026 and 18 September 2026. For 4 of them the maker's own dated note exists; the table gives both dates and the days between. As of 2026-09-25.

Runway's changelog announces outside models under their own names, often with the surface they reach first: Runway's app, its developer API or its MCP server for agents. Ten such entries fall between April and September 2026, five of them Seedance versions or settings. For the newest models the gap from the maker's own note was short: Gemini Omni Flash reached Runway the day of its preview, Grok Imagine 1.5 thirteen days after xAI's note and Wan 3.0 eighteen days after Alibaba Cloud's. Kling is the exception: its 3.0 and O3 models reached Runway's MCP in September 2026, months after Kling rolled out 3.0, and the note speaks only of the MCP surface.
