Runway's New AI Tool Simulates How the Real World Changes, Not Just Generates Video

Runway released GWM-1, a tool that predicts video by modeling physics—how objects actually move and interact—rather than simply creating plausible-looking frames. This shift matters for industries like automotive and manufacturing, where accuracy is critical. Users can now modify sequences interactively while the physics stays consistent, opening applications beyond entertainment into real-world simulation and prediction.
