]]> Runway announces Solaris, a self-styled first "interface world model" that renders interactive UIs frame by frame https://bitshovel.site/en/card/runway-solaris-interface-world-model https://bitshovel.site/en/card/runway-solaris-interface-world-model Tue, 01 Sep 2026 01:32:15 UTC August 31 official announcement: built on an adapted Gen-4.5 video model, clicks and drags condition the next frame, and the app or website interface renders itself in real time with no code layer — the image is the app. An LLM handles reasoning while the world model renders, targeting 720p. A 250-participant user study (~7,500 pairwise judgments) preferred Solaris over a Claude Opus 5 coded interface 61%–24% on instruction-following and 71%–21% on natural behavior. Not broadly available: an early-access request form is open; no API, pricing, or license terms disclosed.
