Speaker explains the new Runway Gen 3 video generation model and demonstrates its improvements by re-running the exact prompts used in Gen 3 through the previous Runway Gen 2 model for direct comparison. The commentary emphasizes Gen 3’s markedly better temporal consistency, more realistic characters and backgrounds, and argues the jump makes generated video materially more usable than Gen 2.
Gen 3, the big announcement of this week. And we took the opportunity here to show you some practical examples what these developments and what this leap forward actually looks like in practice. Because with all the examples they shared, they also shared the prompts. So to clearly show you how quickly the space is moving, we took all of these prompts, we ran them through their previous video generated model, Runway Gen 2, and then we compared Gen 2 and Gen 3. So here's one of the example videos you might have seen. This obviously impressive temporal consistency on the character plus the background isn't funky either. It just looks real. And this is what the exact same prompt would look like with their previous model. Are you serious? Night and day. And this is why people get so excited about this stuff, because it's crossing a threshold where this stuff is becoming usable. A few more Gen 2 to Gen 3 comparisons here for you. This right here is the following prompt inside of Gen 3. And then we have the same thing inside of Gen 2. Another Runway Gen 3 example compared to what you would get in Gen 2, stunning and realistic versus probably not usable.
