- notes
- SOC 2 Type II; built-in content moderation. Confirmed as of the July 30, 2026 sunset date: Gen-3 Alpha Turbo (gen3a_turbo) and Gen-4 Aleph (gen4_aleph) are both no longer available via the Runway API; requests using either identifier now fail. Migration path is Gen-4.5 or Gen-4 Turbo for Gen-3 Alpha Turbo, and Aleph 2.0 for Gen-4 Aleph. Distinct from fal.ai (multi-model infra) and BFL (model lab only).
