GoogleWe’ve started rolling out Genie 4 as a research preview to trusted testers. It’s coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners in the Gemini API and @GoogleAIStudio. Learn more ↓ https://t.co/J3N7rx1czM
GoogleInteractive world models like Genie 4 advance our ability to test simulated scenarios before bringing them into the physical world. We paired Genie 4 with Gemini 4 Argon in our @GoogleDeepMind robotics research — showing the possibilities of simulating a breadth of scenarios in imagined worlds 🤖
GoogleDeepMindHere’s what’s new with Genie 4: 🔵 Photorealism: Built on Gemini Omni for lifelike detail across spaces and subjects 🔵 Advanced physics: Aerodynamics, collisions, and people who move naturally 🔵 Real-time controls: Prompt to change the scene, add elements, or interact with characters 🔵 Native audio: Ambient sound, music, background noise, and interactive dialogue 🔵 Gemini reasoning: Plans multi-step events to maintain coherence as scenes evolve These capabilities are a step toward developing safe virtual environments to see how agents and robots navigate their surroundings. We’re exploring early use cases with trusted testers first, before bringing the model to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners in our API and @GoogleAIStudio soon.
