[H1] Introducing GWM-1
A state-of-the-art model built to interact with the real world.Get StartedDecember 11, 2025by RunwayINTRODUCTIONGWM-1: our state-of-the-art General World Model, built to simulate reality in real time. Interactive, controllable and general-purpose.Watch the AnnouncementTwo years ago, we introduced a new research direction: General World Models. A world model is an AI system that builds an internal representation of an environment and uses it to simulate future events within that environment. The aim of general world models is to represent and simulate a wide range of situations and interactions—like those encountered in the real world.Today, we're announcing GWM-1—our first general world model family. GWM-1 is an autoregressive model built on top of Gen-4.5. It generates frame by frame, runs in real time, and can be controlled interactively with actions—camera pose, robot commands, audio.GWM-1 comes in three variants: GWM Worlds for explorable environments, GWM Avatars for conversational characters, and GWM Robotics for robotic manipulation. Today, these are separate post-trained models. We're working toward unifying many different domains and action spaces under a single base world model.We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won't solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation.

The model's large-scale pretraining provides a powerful representation of the physical world, enabling your policies to generalize across tasks, environments, and embodiments with greater sample efficiency.Synthetic data augmentation for policy trainingUse the world model to generate synthetic training data that augments your existing robotics datasets across multiple dimensions, including novel objects, task instructions, and environmental variations. This synthetic data improves the generalization capabilities and robustness of your trained policies without requiring expensive real-world data collection.Policy evaluation in simulationTest the performance of your policy models (such as VLA models like OpenVLA or OpenPi) directly within Runway's world model instead of deploying to physical robots. This approach is faster, more reproducible, and significantly safer than real-world testing while still providing realistic behavioral assessments.Gen-4.5GWM-1 Robotics SDKA Python SDK for Runway's robotics world model API that enables action-conditioned video generation using models trained on robotics data. The SDK supports multi-view video generation and long-context sequences, with an interface designed for seamless integration into modern robotic policy models.Request Access

Your video file is being uploaded. The currently loaded video is the source file.Use casesGamingEducationTraining AgentsVR and Immersive ExperiencesGWM Worlds enables players to move freely through coherent, reactive worlds without the need to manually design every space.GWM Worlds is a world model for real-time environment simulation. You give the model a static scene, and it generates an immersive, infinite, explorable space as you move through it, with geometry, lighting, physics. All in real time. You can travel to any place, real or imagined. You can become any agent, a person walking through a city, a drone flying over a snowy mountain, a robot navigating a warehouse. What makes this work is consistency. When you explore an environment, you expect the world to stay coherent. Turn around, and what was behind you is still there. Walk forward and back, and you return to where you started. GWM Worlds maintains this spatial consistency across long sequences of movement. And because it's a simulation, the environment can react. You can define the physics of a world with your input prompt, and the world will respond accurately. If you prompt the agent to ride a bike, it stays on the ground; if you prompt for flight, it can freely navigate the sky. This is useful for interactive experiences, games, explorable worlds, immersive environments. But it's equally important for training agents. If you want to train an AI system to navigate and act in the physical world, you need a simulator in which to teach it. GWM Worlds can serve as that sandbox, an environment where agents can explore, make mistakes and learn.Runway Characters is an audio-driven interactive video generation model that simulates natural human motion and expression for arbitrary photorealistic or stylized characters. The model renders realistic facial expressions, eye movements, lip-syncing and gestures during both speaking and listening, running for extended conversations without quality degradation.

Introducing Runway CharactersMarch 9, 2026by Runway
[IMG: Introducing Runway Characters]
A real-time video agent API that lets you build fully custom conversational characters, powered by GWM-1.Today, we're launching Runway Characters, a real-time video agent API that lets you build fully custom conversational characters. These video agents can have any appearance and any visual style, with full control over voice, personality, knowledge and actions. Built on our recently launched world model, GWM-1, Characters lets you generate expressive digital personas from a single image, with zero fine-tuning required.
The internet has generally worked the same way since it was invented. Humans input questions or information, and the machine retrieves a result. LLMs and chatbots made the experience more interactive, but they're still just text in a box. We believe the future of online interactions will be based on real-time video: experiences created on the fly, custom characters you can interact with and generated worlds you can build and explore. With Characters, you can deploy any avatar—photorealistic or animated, human or non-human—with full conversational expressiveness, from a single image. This enables:
Instant character generation across the full range of visual styles, all from a single image – from photorealistic humans to animated mascots to stylized brand characters
Full conversational expressiveness including natural facial expressions, eye movements, lip-syncing and gestures during both speaking and listening
Real-time performance that maintains quality across extended conversations without degradation
Complete customization of voice, personality, knowledge base and actions through API
Play
[H5] Built for Enterprise Teams
Characters is designed for anyone deploying conversational AI at scale—from startups to enterprise teams—across a wide variety of use cases:
Customer Support: Deploy branded characters that feel human while maintaining your visual identity. Whether you're using your actual customer service representatives or creating stylized brand ambassadors, your support experience can now match your brand standards.
Learning & Development: Bring training programs to life with interactive tutors and coaches. Create characters that represent your instructors, historical figures or entirely fictional guides – all capable of holding extended educational conversations with natural expressiveness.
Brand & Marketing Experiences: Finally use your actual brand IP. That mascot you've spent years developing can now hold conversations. Your animated characters can engage customers in real-time. Your creative vision doesn't have to stop at static, pre-recorded content.
Partners including BBC and Silverside are actively using Characters already, and we're rolling the tool out to all customers today.
[H5] How It Works
Getting started with Characters is straightforward:
Define your character with a single reference image
Configure the experience including voice, physical characteristics, personality, knowledge and conversational actions
Deploy via API and integrate into your product, website or application
The API gives you complete control over every aspect of the avatar experience. Define what the character knows, how it speaks, what actions it can take and how it behaves in conversation, with no fine-tuning required. For brands, this means your avatar can create a support ticket, take customer orders based on your inventory or pull from your enterprise knowledge base to answer questions, all in real-time.
[H5] Try It Today
We're launching Characters to our developer platform today. Enterprise teams can start building custom avatar experiences immediately at dev.runwayml.com.
For consumers, we're launching preset avatars in the Runway web app so you can experience Characters firsthand.
