Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Huawei Cloud
Application
Digital-content creation platform that generates lifelike virtual-human avatars speaking/acting from a script and audio, using voice activity detection, NLP and intelligent choreography.
Developer tool
AI coding platform that reads project context to generate and modify code, sold in free and per-seat paid editions.
Model API
Token-metered service giving access to hosted third-party foundation models, run on Huawei's CloudMatrix infrastructure.
Runway
Application
Real-time conversational video avatars made from a single image, for education, customer support, training simulation and gaming use cases; integrates via React SDK, LiveKit Agents or an embeddable widget.
Node-based pipeline builder for chaining multiple Runway generative models and LLM steps into reusable, no-code creative workflows.
Developer tool
Reusable Dev API configuration that automatically selects the best generative model for a request based on configured cost/latency/quality preferences; not separately billed beyond underlying model usage.
Commercial licensing of Runway's video model weights, checkpoints and training scripts for self-hosted, on-premises or air-gapped fine-tuning and deployment, with forward-deployed researcher support.
Model API
Hosted API for video, image and audio generation models from Runway and partner labs, billed per generation.
