Google has announced Genie 4, a new world model that generates realistic, interactive simulations from prompts. The AI creates dynamic virtual environments with native audio, including music and ambient sounds, and simulates physics and natural human motion.

Powered by Google’s Gemini family of AI models, Genie 4 is designed to maintain coherence and continuity within simulated worlds. Users can initiate an event, and the model simulates how the environment responds. Google has released Genie 4 as a research preview to trusted testers, gathering feedback ahead of a wider release to developers and consumers.
