Summary
According to a post on X by @LeRobotHF, Runway has released Praxis-1, which Runway says turns video pretraining into control for real robots. The model ships with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license, so people can run and fine-tune it on their own hardware. Hugging Face's LeRobot added support on day one. Reactor describes Praxis-1 as a 27B mixture-of-experts model and mentions a faster Praxis-1 Fast checkpoint, though the snippet is cut off before giving more detail.

What happened
Runway says Praxis-1 turns video pretraining into control for real robots and ships with open weights under Apache 2.0, ready to run and fine-tune on your own hardware. Hugging Face’s LeRobot added support on day one, and Reactor says it is a 27B mixture-of-experts model with a faster Praxis-1 Fast ch...
Why it matters
Robotics developers and researchers can test and adapt the model on their own hardware, since the weights are available under Apache 2.0. Teams already using LeRobot may be able to evaluate it sooner because support arrived on day one. Watch for independent benchmarks and real-robot results, since the source relays company claims about what the model does.
