# Deploy Runway’s video models on Baseten

## Retrieval answer

Thesis: Dedicated inference turns access to proprietary video models into an enterprise deployment choice, not merely an API choice.

Thesis: Dedicated inference turns access to proprietary video models into an enterprise deployment choice, not merely an API choice.

Baseten announced on October 14, 2026 that Runway Gen-4.5 and Aleph 2.0 can be deployed through Baseten Dedicated Inference. Customers license the weights directly from Runway and may deploy fine-tuned versions. Observed facts: deployments run in isolated workload planes with dedicated GPU resources, while Baseten manages the control plane and underlying infrastructure. The announcement also says the companies jointly support deployments from customization through production serving.

Mechanism: Runway licenses the model weights directly to customers while Baseten provides a single-tenant runtime, dedicated GPU resources, control plane, and infrastructure management. This separates model rights from deployment operations and makes isolation, capacity, and customization part of the offer. Why now: Enterprise creative teams may seek proprietary video generation and editing with workload separation, reserved capacity, and tuning on their own data. The announcement positions this as an additional route alongside Runway Creative and Runway Dev.

Implications: Buyers can evaluate deployment isolation and capacity as part of model procurement, separately from model access through Runway Creative or Runway Dev. For buyers, compare this arrangement with hosted access on control, capacity, and licensing—not just model output. Evidence boundary: The public Baseten announcement describes product availability and deployment architecture but gives no pricing, independent performance measurements, or customer deployment outcomes. Watch condition: Watch for published pricing, capacity guarantees, or customer evidence that clarifies the operational trade-offs.
