Models that learned to generate video are starting to teach robots to act in the real world, and the line between generating an image and taking physical action is blurring.
Annual revenue of the video generator Runway has doubled since April to $200 million; the service is used by more than 60 million creators and 95% of Fortune 100 companies. The team of the Paris SI lab Kinetix has joined Runway to develop world models for robotics. Co-founder Anastasis Germanidis called robots "one of the largest applications of world models."
