I received early access to Runway’s latest text-to-video model, Gen-4.5, and it’s a step beyond what we saw with Gen-4 with smoother physics, tighter prompt fidelity, and motion that finally feels intentional… for the most part anyway.

Runway claims it now leads every major text-to-video benchmark, pushing temporal consistency, physical realism, and creative control further than before while maintaining Gen-4’s speed and efficiency.

Let’s test it and see if that’s the case.
