From an astronaut running through an alley in Rio de Janeiro to a believable suburban neighborhood flooded by water and surrounded by a coral reef, Gen-3 Alpha serves as yet another reminder of how far generative AI has come. The level of fidelity is impressive, from a strange and intimidating creature wandering down a lamp-lit street to a woman running towards a launching rocket.
In short, it's an impressive albeit terrifying glimpse of the near future. The company claims Gen-3 is a step towards its more ambitious goal of realizing what it calls 'General World Models,' which would be an 'AI system that builds an internal representation of an environment, and uses it to simulate future events within that environment.'
Judging by the clips, Runway's latest AI model can trade blows with OpenAI's recently announced Sora, which has yet to be released to the public. Some online pundits have already compared the two, with one Reddit user commenting, 'Even if these are cherry-picked, they already look better than Sora.'
