Google says Genie 4 can generate interactive worlds with audio, more realistic people and real-time prompt controls, starting first as a research preview for trusted testers.

This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.

Had early access to Genie 4 from @GoogleDeepMind. This is a fully generated, interactive world from a single starting prompt (environment + character) 🤯 Feels like a massive step forward - you can now prompt to change the world and interact with it. With native audio!

Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model: - steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions - generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time! - simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics - create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.

It's finally here, Genie 4 has been released in research preview, and will be available to Ultra subscribers soon. Some of my friends were in the closed test, so maybe they can finally talk about it now. I'm really looking forward to this.

Genie 4 is quite an insane experience, generating game-like enviornments as you go. It isn't flawless but I can type "Neogothic brutalist city inhabited by robots and horses" & it creates one in a minute. Then I asked it to add dragons. Then a friendly otter NPC. All in realtime

Another amazing launch from @GoogleDeepMind - Genie 4, their most realistic interactive world model yet 🌐 You can now: • Generate photorealistic worlds in real time • Steer them live with natural language (weather, camera, new characters) • Hear native audio + dialogue that reacts to you • Get better physics and more natural human movement • Have Gemini act as the “brain” keeping it all coherent A big step for robotics training, game prototyping, filmmaking - and pure creative play. Some of my favorite demos so far 👇

Very excited to share Genie 4, our incredible interactive world model, bringing together real-time physics, reasoning, and audio! Simulations within simulations, makes you wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes... I have a feeling we will be finding out soon enough...

Genie 4: "Scene: A Victorian high tea. Character: A mouse in appropriate garb." "A porcupine walks by" "The mouse grows wings" "The mouse flies to the teacup" This is realtime & I can walk around freely. It is glitchy, but also impossibly advanced compared to a couple years ago.
