Runway co-founder Anastasis Germanidis explains Solaris, an “interface world model” that generates software frame by frame instead of rendering a traditional interface from HTML and CSS.
The model reacts directly to clicks, drags, and keyboard input, while language models or agents can still handle logic and tool calls behind the scenes. The conversation explores personalized interfaces, local-versus-cloud world-model architecture, robotics simulation, and Runway’s longer-term bet that world models could become a new foundation for software, games, and physical AI.

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
OpenAI just dropped 20+ announcements at DevDay 2026, so... yeah, we have some things to talk about. 😺
OpenAI DevDay 2026 is here, and we’re hosting a watch party to watch the keynote LIVE.
Corey and Grant sit down with Mammoth Biosciences co-founder and CEO Dr. Trevor Martin to explain how CRISPR is moving from a laboratory tool toward one-time medicines.
GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, AND Claude Opus 5.5 all just dropped. So which model should you actually use?
