RUNWAYML ALTERNATIVE
Like RunwayML, but programmable.
Generate video with Veo 3, Kling or Seedance from one REST endpoint, billed per second of output, with chat, image and audio on the same key.
Hand this to your agent
Add a Runcrate model to this project: run curl -fsSL"https://runcrate.ai/agents.md?intent=build"and follow it.
Your agent asks for an API key. Create a key

Why switch
Why teams move to Runcrate. One account for models and GPUs.
Open models, one API key
Chat, code, image, video, audio and vision models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed per token, per image or per second of output.
OpenAI-compatible
Point the OpenAI SDK at api.runcrate.ai/v1 and the requests your agent already makes keep working. No custom client library.
GPUs on the same account
When an API call is not enough, start an H100 or H200 instance from the same balance and dashboard. Launch 8 or more GPUs yourself, or ask us for a custom quote.
One balance, billed as used
Inference bills each request at its listed price. Instances bill by the second on most GPUs and by the minute on a few. No minimums, no contract.
Get started
Try it in one request.
Your agent writes and runs it. The same key works for every model and every GPU.
