Runway's Solaris: an interface world model that renders apps pixel by pixel
umpherj · x · 2026-09-03
Runway co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis breaks down Solaris, which the company calls an "interface world model."
- Instead of writing HTML/CSS that renders pixels, an interactive video model directly generates the interface pixel by pixel
- This bypasses the traditional rendering pipeline, inheriting the video model's full flexibility to build any kind of application on top
- Runway co-founder Clement Valenzuela summarized: "The interface is a live stream of pixels"
