Overview
Runway is an applied research company that built some of the first usable generative video models and the tools around them. It co-authored the original latent diffusion research behind Stable Diffusion, and its Gen model series brought text to video and video to video editing into professional production workflows. The company works directly with film studios, advertising agencies and independent creators, and runs its own film festival for generative work; its research team continues to publish on video generation, world models and controllability.
