Runway has introduced Solaris, a new concept for the internet that renders websites and apps as live video, eliminating the need for underlying code. This system uses Runway's Gen-4.5 video model paired with a large language model to interpret user interactions and generate real-time frames. Early demos include interactive experiences like virtual clothing try-ons and ingredient-based salad creation.
