Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 2026-07-30 with no prior notice in the changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HyperFrames\n\n1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.\n2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.\n3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.\n\n### Runway API\n\n1. Send `X-Runway-Version: 2024-11-06` on every request or it fails\n2. Use the SDK's wait-for-output helper or poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED\n3. Don't retry a SAFETY.* failure unchanged. It's moderation, not an outage\n4. Take model IDs from the models page, not memory. Two were removed without notice on 2026-07-30\n5. Copy outputs to your own storage. URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HyperFrames or Runway API?\n\nRunway API scores 60.8 (C) on agent readiness against HyperFrames's 39.1 (E), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call HyperFrames and Runway API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for HyperFrames.
