runwayml · x · 2026-09-03
Runway announced GWM Worlds 2, its latest General World Model that generates interactive, real-time simulations in continuous 720p video at 24 fps with 48000 Hz audio, built on its foundational audio-visual generation model.
- Control: users define the environment, subjects, visual style, physical rules and ambience, then steer with text actions aimed at any subject or the scene, plus continuous camera motion
- No fixed script: the world continues from each new input, so sessions have no preset length
Runway positions it as a new foundation for interactive entertainment, virtual characters, robotics and embodied-agent simulation.
