Runway unveils GWM-2: real-time 720p/24fps world model that generalizes to arbitrary actions
tlakomy · x · 2026-09-04
Runway Research released GWM Worlds 2, billed as the best general world model and the first to generalize to arbitrary dynamic actions rather than a fixed action set or navigation — key for gaming, interactive experiences, and agent training.
- Generates interactive real-time simulations in continuous 720p video at 24 fps with 48000 Hz audio, built on its audio-visual foundation model.
- Users define environment, subjects, visual style, physics rules, and ambience; steer via text actions plus continuous camera motion.
- Worlds persist across inputs with no preset session length, laying a foundation for interactive entertainment and agent simulation.
