Runway AI Releases Praxis-1 World Action Model for Robotics with Open Weights
Runway AI has released Praxis-1, a world action model for robotics, now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. The model, which predicts video and actions together, has demonstrated success in learning tasks from limited examples and adapting to various robot embodiments, including legged humanoids, industrial arms, and warehouse robots. Praxis-1 is currently the top-ranked open-source, end-to-end policy on NVIDIA's RoboLab leaderboard. Runway aims to deploy Praxis-1 in real-world industrial settings to gather insights for future model improvements.
Why it matters
Runway believes open world models are critical for U.S. leadership in physical AI, aiming to enhance manufacturing, productivity, and economic security.
