What each AI video model's release notes say changed

Q3 2024 in AI video release notes

Q3 2024: 9 dated entries from 1 line, 1 July 2024 to 23 September 2024. The table lists each; the chart counts them by kind of change. As of 2026-09-25.

Every entry in this quarter comes from Runway, because Runway's changelog is the only source read that reaches back this far with dated video notes. It is the quarter of Gen-3 Alpha: text-to-video on 1 July, a first frame at the end of July, a last frame a week later, the Turbo tier in August, then extensions, video to video, the API and vertical video in September.
