Google DeepMind releases world model Genie 4, integrated with Gemini for task planning

Google DeepMind has released Genie 4, a new-generation world model that supports real-time generation of explorable virtual worlds, modification of weather and scenes, simulation of physical effects such as collisions and gravity, and simultaneous generation of ambient sound effects and character dialogue. Genie 4 is Google's first real-time world model to support native audio generation; it is also integrated with Gemini 3.8 Flash as a real-time guiding agent, with Gemini understanding goals, observing the environment, and deciding the next action.
