Runway is a company that builds AI models generating video from text or images. Its flagship models are the Gen series, and the company offers a video generation service built on these models through its own website. Runway has held contests to discover creative content made using its technology, and in August 2026 it announced the winners of the second edition of its "Nonexistent Product" ad contest.
