Runway is hosting its AI Summit on September 30 in San Francisco — and the speaker list says everything about where the company is headed: leaders from DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Physical Intelligence.
From Video Tool to World-Model Lab
Runway’s research page now leads with GWM Worlds 2 — general world models — and its robotics line is a full product suite: a policy model, offline policy evaluation, data augmentation, and video model licensing for training. The insight driving the pivot: a model that understands how the physical world evolves is useful both for generating video and for controlling robots.
Why It Matters
The summit convenes the three poles of that thesis — DeepMind (Gemini Robotics), NVIDIA (physical AI infrastructure), and Physical Intelligence (robot foundation models) — with Runway positioning itself as the world-model layer between them.
