DeepMind announced Genie 4, a new world model for real-time interactive simulation. It generates native audio, ambient sounds, and interactive dialogue alongside the world. Genie 4 simulates advanced physics, natural human motion, and complex events. Users can steer scenes in real-time with text prompts. It builds on Gemini models for reasoning and coherence. Genie 4 is rolling out as a research preview to trusted testers. Early access is limited to Google AI Ultra subscribers, Gemini API partners, and Google AI Studio users. A waitlist is open for Project Genie access.
