I am *very* excited to announce our SIGGRAPH 2026 workshop: Lines & Minds: Visual Abstraction in Art, Psychology, and Computer Graphics 🎨🧠🫖 🔗 lines-and-minds.github.io 📅 Sunday, July 19 Join us to explore how visual abstraction shapes how we think, create, and communicate.

@stuffyokodraws @marina_uiux @relace_ai @QuiverAI @pmarca @a16z 😍

What I love about AI: remixing ideas becomes so easy Inspired by @marina_uiux's work. built using @relace_ai's blazing fast Jacq and @QuiverAI 💐 🕊️ The text is from @pmarca's It's Time to Build The page plays music and spawns flowers around the @a16z sf office

wanted to learn inverse kinematics so i made a bunch of characters that live on a resizable grid

I love it!

@DuXiaodan @RichardXu110572 👏👏very happy to be part of this paper!:)

🎉Our work 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 was accepted to ECCV 2026 ! We taught an agent to draw vector sketches — part by part. Joint work with @RichardXu110572 ,David Yunis, @YVinker & Greg Shakhnarovich More in thread🧵

SIGGRAPH is almost here, and so is Lines & Minds! 🎨🧠 This Sunday, come spend the afternoon with us exploring how visual abstraction connects art, psychology, and computer graphics — with a wonderful group of speakers. Hope to see you there! lines-and-minds.github.io

🎥 From still image to speaking character in seconds at Real-Time Live!. 'Runway Characters: Real-Time Expressive AI Characters from a Single Image' turns a single reference image into a fully conversational, expressive AI character. Powered by GWM-1, the system generates real-time lip-sync, facial movement, and head motion at 24fps across both photorealistic and stylized characters. s2026.conference-schedule.org/presentation/?… “Runway Characters: Real-Time Expressive AI Characters from a Single Image” © 2026 Runway, Yining Shi (Runway), Kathleen Lewis (Runway)

@Esychology yay this is so cool!

Neural CAs are amazing, but they've never scaled past low resolution. We propose a simple solution that allows an ~8x resolution boost with minimal extra parameters. The core idea: Treat cells as local neural fields instead of pixels. Try the demo: cells2pixels.github.io 🧵

@sigal_raab @GuyTvt 👏👏👏

Amazing, and useful, platform! 🤩 Thank you, @GuyTvt, for making this happen! 🙌 I am honored to recognize pieces of our joint work coming to life in this project. ✨

4 days with @ClaudeDevs #Fable while babysitting a newborn, making fun open source tools and art projects, see below

@msurguy love it!

@GuyTvt Amazing!

AnimoFlow is a new open ecosystem for generative character animation, live now at animoflow.ai. It's built on a simple observation: research models in this field are open, impressive, and moving fast, yet almost none of them ever reach animators. >>>

@GuyTvt so cool!!!

@OrgadHadas 👏👏👏

Happening now! Poster #3206

@runwayml Congrats!!

Today we're announcing the opening of Runway's first office in France, establishing a new research hub in Paris anchored by an initial team of ten employees. France is one of the world's strongest AI ecosystems. Its concentration of world-class research institutions, the depth of engineering talent coming out of them and the French government's sustained investment in AI infrastructure make it one of the most important places to be building frontier AI. We're hiring in Paris, and across Europe. To learn more and apply for open roles, visit the link below.
