Runway unveils Solaris, an interface world model that renders UIs pixel by pixel without code
tlakomy · x · 2026-09-03
Runway co-founder and co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis unveiled Solaris, which the company calls an "interface world model" — an interactive video model that renders user interfaces directly, pixel by pixel.
Key points:
- Traditional UIs require writing HTML/CSS that then renders pixels; Solaris skips the intermediate code and streams interfaces straight from a real-time video model
- Dropping the code layer unlocks far more flexibility, letting builders leverage everything a video model can do
- Runway frames it as a first step toward "end-to-end neural software," combining its world-model research with its HCI heritage
A technical report is out, with limited community testing now open.
