Today we're announcing Runway's expansion into Japan: we're opening a Tokyo office and investing an initial $40M in the country, as we build on what is already one of our largest and fastest-growing markets. We've tripled our enterprise customer base in the country in the last 12 months, with Japan becoming our third largest market globally. Companies like Yamaha, NHN and SoftBank are adopting Runway across marketing, advertising and creative content, and this expansion brings us closer to Japan's leading companies in gaming, media and robotics.
Learn more about the initiative and the roles we're hiring for at the link below.

Agent was shaped by what we kept hearing from the most effective teams inside agencies and in-house brands using @runwayml every day.
-A games studio went from 13 ads/week to ~100, going from idea to ad in under an hour, directly driving installs and revenue.
-A professional services studio built a PowerPoint-to-video tool on our API, replicating $300-600K campaigns for ~$3K.
-A global agency's pharma team built an AI animatic in Runway that outscored every ad in the client's history.
We tried to capture how these teams actually work and make it the default in Agent.

ICYMI: Over the past two weeks, we've published a series of in-depth looks into how we deploy frontier video and world models into production, across engineering, research, and trust and safety.
From how we optimized GWM-1 to serve Characters (which I believe is one of the largest deployments of real-time autoregressive diffusion today), to reducing cold start times by 60x for our inference workers via GPU-to-GPU transfer of model weights, to open-sourcing our configuration system for training and evaluation configs, and finally, the continuous work we do to ensure child safety across our platforms.
There are a lot of novel challenges we face as Runway increasingly becomes the world's infrastructure for generating pixels, media, and worlds, and we'll start sharing more of the behind-the-scenes in the weeks and months ahead.

I just finished watching a number of truly excellent short AI films in the @runwayml AI film festival, and I am honestly blown away by the level of quality. If this crop of creative filmmakers is any barometer of where things are going, buckle up because cinema is leaping ahead.

Runway added more than $40M in net new ARR so far this quarter, and we're less than halfway through. The biggest growth period in the history of the company.
Generative video has hit its inflection point. Enterprises like Amazon and Robinhood are using Runway daily to reshape how they tell stories and reach customers, on our frontier video and world models.
Thank you to our team and our customers. The best is yet to come.

We cut model cold-start times from minutes to seconds. 60x faster, saving thousands of GPU-minutes and hundreds of terabytes of transfers every day.
It turns out GPUs already holding weights are faster weight servers than cloud storage. The writeup covers how we built around that, including the failure modes we hit along the way.

I had a really fun chat with Alex about Runway, media, world models, and some of what’s next for us.

New: When Runway CEO Cris Valenzuela saw Sora for the first time, he thought: finally, some real competition. Then, just as fast, OpenAI shut the video AI app down. But Runway marches on. "We’re building towards a world where we think this might become the foundational base on which you make every piece of content out there," he says. "And so the level of craft and the level of control you need to have is critical." Sustainable, too. Valenzuela (@c_valenzuelab) knows first-hand: he's worked on the problem since 2018, when he met his co-founders at an art-meets-tech lab at NYU, and they struggled to get any VC's attention. Today, @runwayml works with everyone from Hollywood film studios to amateur filmmakers, and corporate customers like Allstate, Siemens and Robinhood. It's valued at $5.3B. On The Upstarts Podcast, Valenzuela talks about his founder journey from Chile to Brooklyn; what the big labs missed in video; and why he believes AI is just the latest tech to improve how people can create and make art. Plus, he shares his Upstart Moment: facing those VC rejections, then sharing them as motivation for his team.

I get asked a lot about how we manage research GPU clusters at Runway, so we wrote it up.
We go deep on the design, tradeoffs, and what it actually takes to keep GPUs fully utilized.
