Agents can now show their reasoning, not just describe it. Visual Thinking is a new research harness that turns an agent's work into real-time video, so every step is visible and easier to follow, check and trust.

Runway has been on a tear over the past couple months. Viral HORSE Video contest Solaris: the world's first Interface World Model Praxis-1: open-weight World Action Model for robotics Project Continuum: operating system research application built around real-time interfaces A video model. An interface model. A robotics model. An operating system. Are you getting it? These are not separate pretrains. They’re different applications, built around the same General World Model backbone, with different post-training on top. All of them are examples of what you can do when you can simulate any pixel. So I asked co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis to co-write an essay with me explaining how video, interfaces, operating systems, and robotics all fit together, why video was the right starting point for World Models, where the world is heading if Runway’s bets are right, and whether or not, as someone who simulates worlds, he believes we’re living in a simulation. Welcome to the future. Enjoy! (Video, of course, made with Runway)
