Generative AI for videos is getting better and better: Runway has given Gen-2 an update that significantly improves the quality of the results. Gen-2 can generate short video clips from text descriptions, recently added a preview function, and has been available in the browser and smartphone app for iOS since June. The company also employs one of the AI researchers behind Stable Diffusion.

The model update from @RunwayML Gen-2 has seen a big improvement in generated video quality and stability.

I am having a great time running old prompts and comparing the differences.
