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.
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

Real-world results are in: GPT-6.1 Terra (Max) by @OpenAI just landed #14 in the Code Arena: WebDev with 1671 pts, delivering Pareto level results!
That’s +151 pts over GPT-5.6 Terra, now at #56. At a median cost of $0.40 per task, GPT-6.1 Terra costs 28% less than GPT-5.6 Terra ($0.56 per task), reshaping the Pareto frontier.
Compared to other models in the family, GPT-6.1 Terra (Max) is incredibly efficient:
- 81 pts below #4 GPT-6.1 Sol (1752 pts), at 75% lower median cost per task.
- Just 6 pts below #11 GPT-6 Sol (1677 pts), at 76% lower median cost per task
Congrats to the @OpenAI team on this release!
