Runway announced GWM-1, its first general world model family, built on Gen-4.5 and generating frames autoregressively in real time under interactive control.
It comes in three variants: GWM Worlds for explorable environments, GWM Avatars for conversational characters, and GWM Robotics for robotic manipulation.
Runway also says it is working toward unifying these domains under a single base world model, and GWM Robotics includes a Python SDK.
