In today's rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence, AI video generation technology has reached a significant milestone. Runway from New York and Luma AI from San Francisco have almost simultaneously launched their respective video generation APIs to the market, providing developers and businesses with unprecedented creative tools and attracting widespread attention in the industry. Runway's Gen-3Alpha Turbo AI video model API was the first to be unveiled. This product is currently in a phased rollout, initially accessible only to select partners.

Runway ML has launched the AI video generation model Gen-3 Alpha Turbo, which offers a 7-fold increase in speed and a 50% reduction in costs compared to its predecessor, making AI video production more accessible. Turbo is suitable for all plans, including free trials, allowing users to enjoy an efficient video generation experience without incurring additional costs. The generation speed of Gen-3 Alpha Turbo is so fast that it surpasses typing speed, effectively addressing the time lag issue of AI video generation models. In terms of pricing, video costs only $5 per second.

Runway's Gen-3Alpha video generator has been exposed for training on a vast amount of pirated content and unauthorized YouTube videos, raising copyright concerns. Since its release last month, Gen-3Alpha has attracted attention for generating images that closely resemble real effects. However, the opacity of its training data sources and the issues surrounding the use of pirated content highlight AI companies' disregard for copyright when generating content. Furthermore, this incident is not isolated, as companies like OpenAI have also faced similar issues.
