RunAnywhere

RunAnywhere is a Y Combinator (W2026) infrastructure company building the layer for deploying fast, private, multimodal AI on-device at scale. It ships one open-source C++ core runtime with native bindings for Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, and the browser, plus hand-written GPU/NPU inference engines (MetalRT for Apple GPUs, QHexRT for Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs) that run LLM, VLM, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and embedding workloads locally. The SDKs handle model delivery, extraction, storage management, versioning, and observability, and support hybrid routing that tries on-device inference first before optionally falling back to the cloud. A hosted control plane (api.runanywhere.ai) manages model delivery and configuration via API key.

RunAnywhere publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, On-Device AI, Inference, Machine-Learning, and SDK.

RunAnywhere’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, CLI, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/runanywhere: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
