Google announces Genie 4, its next world model

Genie 4 makes more realistic interactive worlds, can generate audio, and lets users change an experience in real time with a text prompt.

Length of an experience

2 minutes, up from 1

Experiences now run about two minutes, up from one with Genie 3, but Google warns details and object permanence can shift over time.

What's next

Genie 4 starts as a research preview for trusted testers, and is coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers, with a waitlist open.
