Update: I’ve recently left Runway to start a new company! GenAI transformed how we create, but not how we experience what’s created. It’s time to rethink how we interact with intelligence. We’ve just closed a seed round with amazing top-tier investors. If you’re excited building what comes next, let’s chat.

@sunfanyun Congrats!

We releasing an early version of Moonlake's world modeling agent. It is not just a tool for generating beautiful scenes. It is a system for creating worlds you can interact with. Objects respond. Physics runs determinstically. Your actions have real causal effects. We believe in building with the community, not in isolation. Over the past month, we have iterated closely with users, hosted hackathons, and worked side by side with hundreds of beginner game developers to understand their workflows, frustrations, and creative ambitions firsthand. Our intention is simple. Help developers solve real pain points. Expensive tooling. Repetitive tasks. Tedious work that slow down creativity. We believe humans are the true source of creativity. Tools should amplify that power, not replace it. Game developers, and more broadly creators, will always be at the center of our ecosystem. This is our first beta release. It is an early step, but we hope it gives you a clear sense of what we are building toward. A future where anyone can create rich, interactive worlds with intention and meaning.

@inbar_mosseri Congrats!!

We just launched Project Genie, our research world model that lets you create interactive, playable environments 🎉

@OpenAI Thoughts and prayers during this difficult time💔

Compute enabled our first image generation launch (and a +32% jump in WAU over the following weeks) as well as our latest image generation launch yesterday. We have a lot more coming… and need a lot more compute.

@JamesonCamp @eptwts The Yahoo

@eptwts The MySpace of Ai businesses

the falloff of openai has to be studied...

@fal @sequoia @kleinerperkins @nvidia Congrats Fal!

Today, we're excited to share that we have raised a $140M Series D, welcoming new investors @sequoia, @kleinerperkins and @nvidia alongside the continued support of our existing partners!

@gorkem Win-win is the only game worth playing

A lot of zero-sum thinking in AI lately. Let’s go back to growth mindset please.

At NeurIPS until Friday! Happy to chat about model personalization, human-AI interaction, and startups :)

Grateful for my time in Runway, learned so much from @agermanidis @c_valenzuelab and the entire team!

they say ideas are cheap, but for some reason no one seems to have any ideas

truly the greatest day ever🎗️

@natanielruizg Congrats!

just found out while looking at the ICCV main program that Magic Insert is a highlight paper don't ask me how i didn't realize this previously congrats to all authors 🥳

Conway's Law of AI: AI models and AI products are constrained to produce outputs that reflect the organizational structure, incentives, worldview and culture of the companies that build them. That why when you see a new model or AI product you kind of immediately tell who built it.

@marvinvonhagen @interaction And the launch video was almost as cinematic as your office 😃

Poke is inevitable 🌴 there’s 100 reasons @interaction might lose as a company, from getting banned by messaging platforms to getting sued for price discrimination but Poke as a product is inevitable: > a single-threaded ai w all context in one place – simple and just like you talk to other humans > constantly running inference on live context like email/calendar > proactively offering you help, from checking you into flights to updating calendar invites, linear issues, notion docs, and responding to emails > right in your existing, familiar interface, with a high degree of spatial awareness (which platform did the msg come from, what time/location) > talking like your human friends instead of a sycophantic version of C-3PO > knowing you frighteningly well: → what you’re working on w which deadlines, and what are jobs and studies you’ve prev pursued → how you slept every morning (via whoop/oura) and what music you listen to (via spotify) → what you tweet and post on socials → which newsletters you read and creators/topics you follow → who your family, friends, and coworkers are → … becomes painfully obvious once you’ve tried it for a week. no normie wants to go into an app where they start from a blank conversation every time for everyday requests. no one wants a three-page em-dash-filled report about the history of the US dollar when just asking for a conversion rate. and rec’s for restaurants, purchases, things to do will be so much better from someone who knows what else you like from email receipts and travel itineraries i don’t know yet if we’ll be the ones winning this market, or if apple/google at some point ban us and copy our ux. but i’m betting everything on this becoming the biggest consumer product of our time. build the future and join us in palo alto: interaction.co/jobs

@marvinvonhagen Congrats!!

Poke is out, the great lock-in of sep–dec has started 🌴

@notiansans I’ll try Lyft 😂

@omerbartal Where are you Ubering to 😂

Being able to produce something this cinematic end-to-end on a laptop for the price of an Uber ride is insane

@iamneubert Ok back to work

@omerbartal Let’s make it cheaper than a coffee!

Runway Aleph is a new way to edit, transform and generate video. Its ability to perform a wide range of generalized tasks means it can reimagine ordinary footage in endless new ways. Allowing you to turn images and videos you already have into anything you want. See below for a quick breakdown on how Aleph can effortlessly remove the subject from these scenes, just by asking it to.

@iamneubert Nico world model

A sneak peek into my visual brain.
