Runway

Runway is a leading applied AI research company dedicated to the next frontier of intelligence: General World Models. By merging art with science, Runway develops foundational models capable of understanding, perceiving, and simulating the physical world. Their mission is to build systems that can simulate all possible worlds and experiences, providing creators, engineers, and researchers with unprecedented tools for expression and problem-solving.

At the core of Runway's offering is a suite of state-of-the-art generative models. Their flagship video generation model, Gen-4.5, sets a new industry standard for visual fidelity and motion quality. Beyond simple video generation, Runway is pioneering 'GWM-1', a General World Model designed for real-world interaction. This research branches into three transformative areas: GWM Worlds for creating interactive, explorable environments; GWM Avatars for real-time, conversational video agents; and GWM Robotics for simulating complex physical interactions and robotic behaviors.

Runway's impact spans multiple industries, from Hollywood film production with partners like Lionsgate to architectural workflows at firms like KPF. By providing a platform that balances creative control with automated intelligence, Runway empowers users to tell stories, conduct scientific research, and explore the next frontiers of human creativity. Whether you are an individual artist or a global organization, Runway provides the infrastructure to turn descriptive prompts into rich, simulated realities.
