Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model:
- steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions
- generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time!
- simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini
We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.
Here’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.
