Full Explanation
GitHub offers 'larger runners' (also called 'GitHub-hosted larger runners') for organizations on Team and Enterprise plans. These provide 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 vCPU configurations with proportionally more RAM. They can also offer static IP addresses. Larger runners are configured in Organization or Enterprise Settings and given custom labels, then targeted with 'runs-on: [self-hosted, runner-label]' — except they're actually GitHub-managed. Standard runners have 2 vCPUs and 7 GB RAM (Linux). 'Premium', 'Enterprise', and 'Pro' runners are not official GitHub product names.
