op7418 · x · 2026-09-01
Runway has introduced a new model called Solaris, described as the first interface world model. It acts as a new operating system capable of generating interactive interfaces frame-by-frame in real time.
- Interaction Capabilities: The generated video responds to clicks and drags. For example, dragging a tree enlarges it; moving murals or light sources re-renders lighting interactions; clicking opens a UI to switch styles.
- Technical Basis: Relies on video models for real-time generation.
- Current Limitations: The author notes significant bottlenecks including latency, generation costs, and issues with consistency and coherence.
