Towards a new media ecosystem with world simulators

Today marks an important milestone as Runway announces a significant next step towards our goal of creating a new media ecosystem with world simulators. We're excited to announce an expansion of Runway Studios, our first-of-its-kind AI film and animation studio dedicated to producing original content using the state-of-the-art foundation models pioneered by our research team.
To fuel this expansion and continue advancing our research in media generation, we've secured over $300M in Series D funding, led by General Atlantic with participation from Fidelity Management & Research Company, Baillie Gifford, NVIDIA, SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and other new and existing investors.
Recently, we unveiled Gen-4, our next-generation series of AI models for media generation and world consistency. Gen-4 enables precise generation of consistent characters, locations and objects across scenes. These advancements aren't merely incremental improvements; they form the foundation for an entirely new approach to media—an ecosystem built on AI systems that can simulate our world.
