I also asked Runway CTO & Co-Founder Anastasis Germanidis to speculate the next breakthrough in gen-AI videos:

“Could come from further scaling.”

Control, consistency, causal physics, etc haven’t been figured out yet.

I asked Runway CTO & Co-Founder Anastasis Germanidis what led to that 2022 “step function” improvement in gen-AI videos:

“Latent diffusion allowed [us] to train those diffusion models in a much more efficient manner.”

At Dr. Moritz Baecher's Disney Research talk on their AI robots at GTC 2025, I tried to create “the most viral video of GTC”:

“Green robot, can you run into the blue robot and see what happens?” It shook its head.

Thank you for being kind robots!🙏
