Wan 3.0 on Runway, or the wan-3.0 id as an API job on Sume

Runway added Wan 3.0 on Aug 24, 2026 as an option in tool mode and in workflows, at 480p, 720p or 1080p, on paid plans. If you want to call the same model from your own code, Sume exposes it as the catalog id wan-3.0: you send a request and read back a job.

The Runway facts are from its changelog, read 2026-09-30. The Sume facts are from the Video generation and Video Router docs and the catalog in code.

What does Runway say about Wan 3.0?

One changelog line: Wan 3.0 is available in tool mode and workflows at 480p, 720p, or 1080p, for paid plans. The line says nothing about an API, clip length or per-second price, so this post does not state any for Runway.

How does wan-3.0 on Sume compare field by field?

Only the Runway cells that its changelog states are filled in.

How do I call wan-3.0 from code?

Post to /v1/video-router/generate with model: "wan-3.0", a prompt and a resolution. It needs an Idempotency-Key, and with mode: "async" you get a job to read later, as in the Video Router docs. Check capabilities from GET /v1/video-router/models before assuming a limit. For longer worked examples see Wan 3.0 video API.

curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/video-router/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: wan-3-demo-001" \
  -d '{
    "model": "wan-3.0",
    "prompt": "A paper boat drifting down a rain gutter, close-up",
    "resolution": "720p",
    "duration": 5,
    "mode": "async"
  }'

What does a Wan 3.0 clip cost on Sume?

Sume bills the provider list price times 1.25 per output second. Computed from Sume's pricing code for a 5-second clip:

480p: $0.32, 720p: $0.63, 1080p: $1.25. The per-second breakdown is in Wan 3.0 pricing.

Which one should I use?

Use Runway's tool mode or workflows if you work inside Runway's editor. Use the wan-3.0 id if the clip must come out of a script, a queue or an agent, where you store the job id and fetch the result later.
