Gen-3 Alpha
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

What the numbers mean
Background
Gen-3 Alpha was published by Runway, in United States of America, in June 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.
It works in Video, Vision, and is recorded as doing video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video.
Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.
Answers
Gen-3 Alpha — common questions
When was Gen-3 Alpha released?
Gen-3 Alpha was published in June 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is Gen-3 Alpha used for?
Gen-3 Alpha works in Video, Vision, and is recorded as handling video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
What GPU do I need to run Gen-3 Alpha?
None. Gen-3 Alpha is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
Is Gen-3 Alpha open source?
No. Gen-3 Alpha has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Gen-3 Alpha have?
No parameter count has been published for Gen-3 Alpha, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Who created Gen-3 Alpha?
Gen-3 Alpha was published by Runway, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
