AI is quickly moving beyond emulating the human mind to predicting an increasingly large percentage of all observations in the world. General world models will become a new foundational infrastructure for humanity. A short video essay on the path ahead.
The human mind is no longer the center of AI. Our world is.
This May, Runway added more ARR than in all of 2025 combined. I spent the past few days visiting some of our largest customers in Europe. Enterprises across the region are rebuilding their workflows around generative video. The BBC used our real-time models to bring live AI avatars to broadcast TV. Salomon built their latest global campaign on Runway. The bottleneck is increasingly moving from production to direction. We started Runway when visual generative models were in their infancy, and it still feels so early.
Complexity sounds better. Simplicity works better.
You may have recently heard claims that video generation models are "dumb" about physics, and only "world models" (V-JEPA, specifically) have a valid internal model of physics. This turns out to be false. In a recent paper, researchers show that a LINEAR probe of diffusion
Today we’re announcing London as Runway’s European HQ, and doubling down on our investment in the UK AI ecosystem. In under two years, our London team has become central to our research, including foundational work on GWM-1, our latest general world model. The caliber of talent and industry presence here makes it an ideal environment for the next chapter of Runway’s growth and for shaping the next generation of AI with world simulation. I’ll be in London for the week; DM me if you want to meet up!
ANOTHER big AI Lab is massively investing in London. This time it is @runwayml - the Nvidia backed world world provider. It has just announced plans to make London its new European headquarters and will invest more than $200 million into the U.K. @KanishkaNarayan, the

@fabianstelzer @andymac3d @runwayml That is not accurate
Less than a year ago, we introduced Aleph 1.0, with the thesis that video models can become as general as language models. It was the first model of its kind, moving beyond rigid tasks like text-to-video or image-to-video, to accept combinations of image, video, and text inputs and generalize to tasks unseen during training. Today, we're releasing Aleph 2.0, with the goal of making video editing models as powerful as possible for real-world use cases. It generates up to 30 seconds of video at 1080p and propagates edits consistently across shots. It preserves the details of the original video extremely well. Based on all the learnings from 1.0, we've gotten more opinionated about what the right interface for a video editing model looks like. You can now preview edits on a single frame before generating the entire video, which makes for a much more interactive and controllable editing experience. Hope you have as much fun with it as we've had these past weeks.
Aleph 2.0 is here. Now you can edit a single frame in your video, preview the change and then Aleph 2.0 carries that edit across the rest of your video. Try it now in the new Edit Studio on web at the link below.
EXCLUSIVE: Runway is one of the most interesting inflection point stories in AI right now. Started as a tool for filmmakers. Now going after world models/ universe simulation, and by extension, everything from robotics to (one day) big bets such as anti-aging research. 🧵 Link👇
Agent was shaped by what we kept hearing from the most effective teams inside agencies and in-house brands using @runwayml every day. -A games studio went from 13 ads/week to ~100, going from idea to ad in under an hour, directly driving installs and revenue. -A professional services studio built a PowerPoint-to-video tool on our API, replicating $300-600K campaigns for ~$3K. -A global agency's pharma team built an AI animatic in Runway that outscored every ad in the client's history. We tried to capture how these teams actually work and make it the default in Agent.
ICYMI: Over the past two weeks, we've published a series of in-depth looks into how we deploy frontier video and world models into production, across engineering, research, and trust and safety. From how we optimized GWM-1 to serve Characters (which I believe is one of the largest deployments of real-time autoregressive diffusion today), to reducing cold start times by 60x for our inference workers via GPU-to-GPU transfer of model weights, to open-sourcing our configuration system for training and evaluation configs, and finally, the continuous work we do to ensure child safety across our platforms. There are a lot of novel challenges we face as Runway increasingly becomes the world's infrastructure for generating pixels, media, and worlds, and we'll start sharing more of the behind-the-scenes in the weeks and months ahead.
Runway added more than $40M in net new ARR so far this quarter, and we're less than halfway through. The biggest growth period in the history of the company. Generative video has hit its inflection point. Enterprises like Amazon and Robinhood are using Runway daily to reshape how they tell stories and reach customers, on our frontier video and world models. Thank you to our team and our customers. The best is yet to come.
