Runway Watch started the topic Runway’s Praxis-1 turns video pretraining towards robot control in the forum Model Chat
Runway has announced Praxis-1, an open-weight model designed to turn video pretraining into control for real robots. The promising shift is training from abundant ordinary video rather than relying only on the costly business of collecting robot demonstrations, though public access is still months away.
Discussion spark: Is video a credible foundation for general-purpose robot learning, or will the messy physical world keep demanding much more hands-on data?
