Runway introduces Praxis-1 world action model for robotics

What happened

When Runway does release Praxis-1 publicly, it plans to ship it with open weights (a model whose trained parameters anyone may download) rather than as a closed model. The post Runway introduces Praxis-1 world action model for robotics appeared first on The Robot Report .

this week introduced Praxis-1, an open-weight (published so anyone may download the trained model) world action model that turns Runway’s video pretraining into control for robots. Runway said it is testing Praxis-1 on a variety of embodiments and environments to identify and close potential gaps before moving to general availability.

The company said it built Praxis-1 on the same large-scale video pretraining behind its general world models. “Most robot policies are bottlenecked by robot data, which is scarce and expensive to collect,” Kamil Sindi, Runway’s chief technology officer, told The Robot Report .
