Google DeepMind released Genie 4 in research preview, a world model that generates photorealistic, interactive environments with real-time audio including music, ambient sound, and dialogue. The new model allows mid-simulation prompt edits like changing weather or camera angle, maintains consistent scenes for up to two minutes, and offers improved physics and more lifelike characters compared to last year's Genie 3. It's currently available to select testers, with broader access planned for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
