Runway Enters the World Model Race With GWM-1

[mendez]

AI video startup Runway has launched its first world model, GWM-1, joining a growing race among startups and Big Tech to build AI systems that can simulate how the world behaves over time. Unlike traditional models trained on static data, GWM-1 predicts environments frame by frame, allowing it to reason about physics, geometry, and cause-and-effect in dynamic settings.
