Runway’s WorldPrompt and the Engineering of Real-Time Worlds
Latent Space 2 weeks ago 26
Runway released GWM Worlds 2, a research preview that streams real-time interactive worlds using an “autoregressive diffusion” approach. It targets 48,000 Hz audio alongside continuous video. WorldPrompt adds a way to specify a generated world and timestamped actions (including real-time prompts), while the model’s real-time generation relies on distillation and still has limits like error accumulation and imperfect long-term memory.
