Introduction

Runway Gen-4.5 is the world's top-rated AI video generation model, ranked #1 on the Artificial Analysis Text-to-Video benchmark with 1,247 Elo points. It delivers cinematic, photorealistic outputs with precise prompt adherence, advanced motion quality and consistent visual fidelity across diverse generation modes.

Runway Gen-4.5: State-of-the-Art AI Video Generation

Two years ago, we released Gen-1, the first publicly available video generation model. It enabled an entirely new form of creative expression and a new product category. Since then, we've led the industry in making video models more powerful and controllable, from significant base model improvements to new controls and general in-context capabilities.

Runway Gen-4.5 pushes the frontier of video generation even further. It represents significant advances in both pre-training data efficiency and post-training techniques. Gen-4.5 sets new standards for dynamic, controllable action generation, temporal consistency and precise controllability across diverse generation modes. With 1,247 Elo points, Gen-4.5 currently holds the top position in the Artificial Analysis Text to Video benchmark, surpassing all other models.

Gen-4.5 maintains the speed and efficiency of Gen-4, delivering breakthrough quality without compromising performance. Available at comparable pricing across all subscription plans, Gen-4.5 makes world-leading video generation accessible to creators and organizations at every scale. We’ll also be bringing all existing control modes (Image to Video, Keyframes, Video to Video and more) to Gen-4.5.

Evolution of Video Generation

Gen-4.5 achieves unprecedented physical accuracy and visual precision in AI video generation models. Objects move with realistic weight, momentum and force. Liquids flow with proper dynamics. Surface details render at great fidelity. And fine details like hair strands and material weave remain coherent across motion and time.

Built on NVIDIA

Gen-4.5 was developed entirely on NVIDIA GPUs across initial R&D, pre-training, post-training and inference. We collaborated extensively with NVIDIA to push the boundaries of what's possible in video diffusion model optimization, from training efficiency to inference speed.

Inference runs on NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell series GPUs, delivering optimized performance without compromising quality.

“

This is an incredibly exciting time for video and world models.

We’re proud that Runway built their groundbreaking video and world model on NVIDIA GPUs, and are thrilled to see Runway revolutionize the video generation industry.

Together, we are partnering to advance the entire lifecycle of AI from pretraining, to post-training and inference.”

How Gen-4.5 Compares

At the time of its release, Runway Gen-4.5 holds the #1 position on the Artificial Analysis Text-to-Video benchmark with 1,247 Elo points — ahead of Google Veo 3 (1,226 Elo), Kling 2.5 (1,225 Elo) and OpenAI Sora 2 Pro (1,206 Elo). Rankings are determined by blind human preference voting across thousands of pairwise comparisons, with no knowledge of which model produced each video.

Despite significant advances over prior AI video generation models, Gen-4.5 exhibits several limitations common to AI video generation models:

Causal reasoning: effects sometimes precede causes (e.g., a door opening before the handle is pressed).
Object permanence: objects may disappear or appear unexpectedly across frames (e.g., a cup vanishing after being occluded).
Success bias: actions disproportionately succeed (e.g., a poorly aimed kick still scoring a goal).

These limitations are particularly important in our work on world models, which need to accurately represent the outcomes of actions taken in the environment. We are actively researching ways to address them.
