- Subject: Gen / Aleph
- Models affected: GWM-Robotics, Gen-4.5

Runway tested GWM-Robotics, a world model for robot policy evaluation, across eight manipulation policies and found a 0.95 correlation between simulated and real-world scores. The model outperforms PolaRiS and can generate up to 30-second rollouts. Runway is building GWM-Robotics with partners including NVIDIA and Berkshire Grey.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://runway.com/research/accelerating-robot-policy-evaluation:

> Across all eight policies, simulated and real-world scores correlate at 0.95, demonstrating that our world model can serve as a reliable proxy for evaluating robot policies before committing to hardware deployment.
