Runway's technology is based on generative AI called Stable Diffusion Models. These models are able to generate high-quality images, videos, and sounds from text descriptions. Runway's tools allow users to create anything they can imagine, from simple animations to complex films.
Some of the things that Runway can do include:
Generate realistic images and videos from text descriptions
Edit videos with natural language
Create music that matches a specific mood or scene
Turn any image or video into a different style
Create new worlds and characters
Here are some of the specific products and services that Runway offers:
Runway AI Studio: A web-based platform that allows users to create and edit content using Runway's AI tools.
Runway AI API: A set of APIs that allow developers to integrate Runway's technology into their own applications.
Runway AI Film Festival: An annual festival that showcases the best in AI-generated filmmaking.
Runway's technology is already being used by artists, filmmakers, and businesses around the world. They have created a number of innovative projects and AI Tools. Dozens of creative tools to ideate, generate and edit content like never before, including:

Difference between Runway Gen 1 and Gen 2
Runway Gen 1 and Gen 2 are both text-to-video generative AI models, but they have some key differences. Gen 1 was released in 2022, and Gen 2 was released in 2023.
Gen 2 is a significant improvement over Gen 1 in terms of image quality, realism, and controllability. Gen 2 is also able to generate longer videos, up to 10 seconds in length.
Here is a table of the key differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2:
Image quality
Good
Excellent
Realism
Good
Excellent
Controllability
Fair
Good
Video length
5 seconds
10 seconds
Availability
Early access
Public release
If you are looking for the best possible image quality and realism, then Gen 2 is the better choice. However, if you are on a budget or if you need to generate shorter videos, then Gen 1 may be a better option.
Here are some additional details about differences between Gen 1 and Gen 2:
Image quality: Gen 2 is able to generate images that are significantly more realistic than Gen 1. This is due to a number of factors, including the use of a larger and more diverse training dataset, as well as improvements to the model architecture.
Realism: Gen 2 is also able to generate videos that are more realistic than Gen 1. This is due to the use of a more advanced diffusion model that is better at preserving detail and avoiding artifacts.
Controllability: Gen 2 is more controllable than Gen 1. This is because the model has been fine-tuned to be more responsive to text prompts. This means that you can be more specific about what you want the model to generate, and you are less likely to get unexpected results.
Video length: Gen 2 is able to generate videos that are up to 10 seconds long. This is a significant improvement over Gen 1, which was limited to 5 seconds. This means that you can now generate longer and more complex videos with Gen 2.
Availability: Gen 2 is currently available in public release. Gen 1 was only available in early access, but it is now deprecated.
Overall, Gen 2 is a significant improvement over Gen 1 in terms of image quality, realism, controllability, and video length. If you are looking for the best possible text-to-video generative AI model, then Gen 2 is the better choice.

Message from Runway:
"Deep neural networks for image and video synthesis are becoming increasingly precise, realistic and controllable. In a couple of years, we have gone from blurry low-resolution images to both highly realistic and aesthetic imagery allowing for the rise of synthetic media.
Large language models and models with shared text-image latent spaces, such as CLIP, are now also enabling new ways of interacting with software and synthesizing media. Diffusion models are a prime example of the power of such approaches.
Runway Research is at the forefront of these developments and we ensure that the future of content creation is both accessible, controllable and empowering for users. We believe that deep learning techniques applied to audiovisual content will forever change art, creativity, and design tools".
