techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-12-12 15:10:14

Google DeepMind has revealed Genie 3, its latest foundation world model that can be used to train general-purpose AI agents, a capability that the AI lab says makes for a crucial stepping stone on the path to “artificial general intelligence,” or human-like intelligence. “Genie 3 is the first real-time interactive general purpose world model,” Shlomi Fruchter, a research director at DeepMind, said during a press briefing. “It goes beyond narrow world models that existed before.

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-12-12 16:07:12

The semiconductor industry’s rollercoaster year continues with another major development. President Donald Trump said on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Tuesday that his administration is planning to announce tariffs on semiconductors and chips as soon as next week. However, the specifics of these tariffs remain unclear. Such tariffs could cause quite a disruption for U.S. hardware and AI companies. When the U.S. CHIPs and Science Act was signed in 2022 — providing $52 billion in subsidies to boost domes

Google DeepMind's Genie 3 can dynamically alter the state of its simulated worlds

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-12 21:00:52

At start of December, Google DeepMind released Genie 2. The Genie family of AI systems are what are known as world models. They're capable of generating images as the user — either a human or, more likely, an automated AI agent — moves through the world the software is simulating. The resulting video of the model in action may look like a video game, but DeepMind has always positioned Genie 2 as a way to train other AI systems to be better at what they're designed to accomplish.

DeepMind reveals Genie 3 “world model” that creates real-time interactive simulations

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-12 21:00:36

While no one has figured out how to make money from generative artificial intelligence, that hasn't stopped Google DeepMind from pushing the boundaries of what's possible with a big pile of inference. The capabilities (and costs) of these models have been on an impressive upward trajectory, a trend exemplified by the reveal of Genie 3.
