Introducing Gen-3 Alpha: Runway’s new base model for video generation. Gen-3 Alpha can create highly detailed videos with complex scene changes, a wide range of cinematic choices, and detailed art directions. (1/10)

Gen-3 Alpha is the first of an upcoming series of models trained by Runway on a new infrastructure built for large-scale multimodal training, and represents a significant step towards our goal of building General World Models. Prompt: Subtle reflections of a woman on the window of a train moving at hyper-speed in a Japanese city. (2/10)

Trained jointly on videos and images, Gen-3 Alpha will power Runway's Text to Video, Image to Video and Text to Image tools, existing control modes such as Motion Brush, Advanced Camera Controls and Director Mode, and upcoming tools to enable even more fine-grained control over structure, style and motion. Gen-3 Alpha will also be released with a new set of safeguards, including a new and improved in-house visual moderation system and C2PA provenance standards. Prompt: An astronaut running through an alley in Rio de Janeiro. (3/10)

Gen-3 Alpha was trained from the ground up for creative applications. It was a collaborative effort from a cross-disciplinary team of research scientists, engineers and artists. Prompt: FPV moving through a forest to an abandoned house to ocean waves. (4/10)

As part of the family of Gen-3 models, we have been collaborating and partnering with leading entertainment and media organizations to create custom versions of Gen-3 Alpha. Customization of Gen-3 models allows for even more stylistically controlled and consistent characters, and targets specific artistic and narrative requirements. Prompt: An older man playing piano, lit from the side. (5/10)

This leap forward in technology represents a significant milestone in our commitment to empowering artists, paving the way for the next generation of creative and artistic innovation. Gen-3 Alpha will be available for everyone over the coming days. Prompt: A slow cinematic push in on an ostrich standing in a 1980s kitchen. (6/10)

Prompt: A middle-aged sad bald man becomes happy as a wig of curly hair and sunglasses fall suddenly on his head. (7/10)

Prompt: A colossal statue of an ancient warrior stands tall on a cliff's edge. The camera circles slowly, capturing the warrior's silhouette. (8/10)

Prompt: An empty warehouse, zoom in into a wonderful jungle that emerges from the ground. (9/10)

Prompt: Handheld camera moving fast, flashlight light, in a white old wall in a old alley at night a black graffiti that spells 'Runway'. (10/10)

Impressive demo! The question is: When will we be able to try this?
