What does a third-party inference task mean?
A third-party inference task refers to a request processed using a model or service hosted by an external provider, rather than run directly on Runware infrastructure.
How third-party inference works
When you run a task using a third-party model:
The request is sent through Runware
The model itself is hosted and operated by an external provider
The generation is processed by that provider’s infrastructure
Runware acts as the platform that connects your request to the model provider.
If you are unsure whether a model is Runware-hosted or third-party, models with air id starting with "runware:" are hosted by Runware
