VentureBeat, Thursday, November 2,2023
Runway, the well-funded New York City-based generative AI video startup, updated its signature text/image/video-to-video model Gen-2 today, and many of its users are collectively freaking out over how good it is. Numerous AI filmmakers have called it 'game changing,' and some a 'pivotal moment in generative AI.'
Specifically, Gen-2 has undergone 'major improvements to both the fidelity and consistency of video results,' according to Runway's official account on the social network X (formerly Twitter)...
Originally unveiled in March 2023, Gen-2 improved on Runway's Gen-1 model by allowing users to type text prompts to generate new four-second-long videos from scratch through its proprietary AI foundation model, or to upload images to which Gen-2 could add motion. Gen-1 required you to upload an existing video clip.
