Game Worlds is now available to everyone in Beta. It represents an entire new research direction for us towards generative storytelling and world-building:.
Today, we're launching the Runway Game Worlds Beta. Over the last few months, we have been working on research and products that are moving us closer toward a future where you will be able to explore any character, story or world in real time. While generating the pixels of

I've learned that it takes about a year from initially setting a research direction internally to getting it to finally work. It took a year of investing in scaling laws for video models to releasing Gen-3 Alpha. It took a year of investing in a unified multi-task approach to.

Models just want to generalize. For the past years, we’ve been pushing the frontier of controllability in video, releasing new models and techniques for inpainting, outpainting, segmentation, stylization, keyframing, motion and camera control. Aleph is a single in-context model.
Introducing Runway Aleph, a new way to edit, transform and generate video. Aleph is a state-of-the-art in-context video model, setting a new frontier for multi-task visual generation, with the ability to perform a wide range of edits on an input video such as adding, removing

This summer has a similar feeling as that of 2022. Something has clicked with the latest generation of models and there’s suddenly so much low hanging fruit. Back to making new prototypes every weekend.

Lucid Dream Test. Imagine the following scenario. You enter a room and you are asked to wear a VR headset that has a camera and supports a passthrough mode (which can display a real-time feed of your surroundings). Once you put on the headset, you find yourself in what appears to.

Total Pixel Space, which won the Grand Prix at this year's AIFF, is a wonderful video essay and, by the way, one of the clearest descriptions of universal simulation (as search in the space of all possible universes).

Great work by @graceluo_ @jongranskog training diffusion models to be aligned with VLM feedback in minutes, which can be used to improve commonsense reasoning and enable many kinds of visual prompting.
✨New preprint: Dual-Process Image Generation! We distill *feedback from a VLM* into *feed-forward image generation*, at inference time. The result is flexible control: parameterize tasks as multimodal inputs, visually inspect the images with the VLM, and update the generator.🧵

Expanding the Gen-4 API with generalist image capabilities:.
Earlier this month, we released Gen-4 References, our most general and flexible image generation model yet. It became one of our most popular releases ever, with new use cases and workflows being discovered every minute. Today, we’re making it available via the Runway API,

As a field, we're just scratching the surface in building multimodal simulators of the universe. This will be a long journey, and the true purpose of deep learning.

References has been the biggest demonstration so far for me that if you focus on the problems that you really need to solve, rather than the problems that feel most solvable, deep learning will reward you for it.
Today we are releasing Gen-4 References to all paid plans. Now anyone can generate consistent characters, locations and more. With References, you can use photos, generated images, 3D models or selfies to place yourself or others into any scene you can imagine. More examples
