Google previewed Genie 4, an AI model that generates realistic three-dimensional environments and is the latest in its series of world models launched in 2024.

AI brief

Google released Genie 4, a world model that adds audio, more realistic environments and real-time steering. It maintains a consistent scene for up to two minutes, double Genie 3's limit, with better physics and more humanlike characters.

Why it matters: Doubling the consistent-scene window to two minutes extends how long the model can hold a world together, a practical constraint on world-model use.
