Runway

Runway is a platform focused on developing foundational General World Models intended to simulate various worlds and experiences, with the stated goal of creating models that can understand, perceive, generate, and act within the world. It offers several key products: Gen-4.5, described as a video generation model featuring state-of-the-art motion quality, prompt adherence, and visual fidelity; Aleph 2.0, an upgraded video editing model; Runway Characters, which are fully autonomous, real-time virtual video agents capable of natural conversation and contextual awareness; GWM Robotics, designed to simulate physical interactions and robotic behaviors through learned world models; and GWM Worlds, which enables open-ended, interactive world simulation for creating explorable realities in real-time. The platform is positioned for use across media and entertainment, robotics and autonomy, and general world modeling, with partnerships involving leading organizations to advance storytelling, scientific progress, and other frontiers.
