Summary
According to a post on X by @runwayml, Runway has released Praxis-1, a 27B mixture-of-experts model that predicts video and robot actions together. It is released under Apache 2.0 with day-one support in Hugging Face's LeRobot, and Runway says it ranks #1 on NVIDIA's RoboLab-120 leaderboard. Runway's company-reported figures say it finished tasks 15.6x faster than GPT-6 Astra on the same arm, at 51x lower cost per task.

Why it matters
Robotics developers can access the model's weights under an open license, which lets them test and build on it directly. If the cost and speed claims hold up, the economics of building capable robot software could shift. The figures come from Runway itself, so independent benchmark results will be the thing to watch.
