AIHOT/AlphaSignal dual-source discovery and Runway's official announcement · Published 2026-09-01
Solaris: a model generates the next interface frame after a click
Runway’s Solaris research uses user actions to generate successive interface frames; the announcement described early access.
Actions condition the next frame
Runway describes Solaris as based on an adapted Gen-4.5 video model. Clicks and drags condition successive frames: an LLM handles requests and scene changes while a world model renders the interface imagery.
Research and access
The research uses generated imagery as the interface without a conventional app-code layer. At the August 31, 2026 announcement, Solaris accepted early-access requests; API, pricing and license terms were not disclosed.

Retained summary and context
Everything comes from Runway's single-party announcement; the evals and the user study are self-reported against one comparison point (a Claude Opus 5 coded interface). The "first-of-its-kind" claim is unverified by any third party, nothing is publicly usable yet, and dual-source same-day coverage is attention, not proof of quality.
