The most interesting part of Apps is that you can technically build one for anything imaginable combining video, images, and audio. If AI is a new OS, we needed a new app system. Pretty remarkable use cases of Apps just 24 hours after release.
I managed to hack a relight that actually works really well. The shadow re-casting is b r i l l i a n t . @runwayml Apps

We have this 2023 front page cover of the NYT framed in our NY and SF offices. People get really confused as to why. I tell them that headlines are not the only thing that matters, you have to pay attention to the details.

The concentration of research talent at Runway is exceptional. Working with one of the strongest teams in the world on world models and image/video/media generation is an incredible opportunity. I'm really excited for what's ahead.

I think there are two ways to look at progress: it either improves a system or creates a new one. The first kind makes life more bearable. The second makes it strange again. The first keeps us alive. The second reminds us why.
