Generative media’s breakthrough moment: Insights from Runway

Agent Cloud

About the session

Video models have crossed a threshold. What was a novelty one year ago is now reliable enough to sit inside real production workflows — a shift that looks a lot like the moment code generation went from autocomplete to a Claude Code session. In this talk, Runway Chief Product Officer Anthony Maggio traces how video and world models evolved to this point, why generative media is having its own step-change moment, and what that has meant for building the Runway Agent and Runway Dev. Leave with a clearer picture of where generative media is heading and what it takes to turn a fast-moving model capability into a product people actually use.
