Runway announced GWM Robotics in December 2025, an AI model that generates synthetic video training data for robot policy development and enables simulation-based testing of robotic systems, available to robotics firms and enterprises via a Python SDK by request.
Details
GWM Robotics is one of three variants of Runway's GWM-1 General World Model family, built on the Gen-4.5 video generation architecture using an autoregressive frame-by-frame approach. It takes robotics datasets and augments them with synthetic data varying parameters such as changing weather, novel objects, and environmental conditions. Developers can also test robot policy models inside the simulation instead of deploying to physical hardware. Runway describes the system as available via a Python SDK by request; the company stated it was in active conversations with robotics firms and enterprises at launch.

ModerationRunway uses an in-house AI visual moderation system that automatically detects and blocks attempts to generate harmful or inappropriate content, including depictions of public figures without consent, and adds invisible C2PA-standard watermarks to every generated output to label it as AI-made.Creative GenRunway offers Act-One and Act-Two, AI tools that transfer a human actor's facial expressions, mouth movements, and gestures from a simple driving video onto a generated or user-supplied character image. These tools are available to users on Standard plan and higher.Creative GenRunway offers an AI video generation platform that takes text prompts, images, or existing video clips as input and produces short synthetic video clips. The platform's current flagship model, Gen-4.5, is available to all paid subscribers worldwide.
