Runway open-sources Praxis-1, a video-trained AI model that controls robots
The Decoder · rss · 2026-11-14
Runway has released its robotics model Praxis-1 with open weights and source code under the Apache 2.0 license. The model transfers knowledge from video training to robot control and tops the World Action Model category on Nvidia's RoboLab-120 benchmark.
It can't yet plan complex action sequences on its own, serving mainly as a controller — but it marks a notable move by a video-generation company into embodied AI.
