Google previewed Genie 4, a world model that generates realistic three-dimensional environments from natural language descriptions, as the latest in a series of world models the company launched in 2024. Google DeepMind staffers say the most dramatic leap is how Genie 4 simulates people, creating characters that move naturally, respond organically to their environments, and can be interactively steered in real-time. Compared with its predecessor, the model is better at rendering fluid movements and other complex details, and it can generate accompanying audio such as the sound of crashing waves. Users describe what they want to render, then navigate the simulation and make edits through follow-up prompts, for example changing the weather or adding objects, without losing photorealism or consistency; keyboard controls adjust the camera's position and angle. Genie 4 relies on other Google models under the hood: Gemini Omni, a video generator introduced in May, keeps generated visual assets realistic, while Gemini 3.8 Flash, a cost-efficient reasoning model, makes individual simulation frames consistent with one another. DeepMind is studying robotics uses, pairing Genie 4 with Gemini 4 Argon, Google's flagship reasoning-optimized large language model, so engineers can simulate robots from high-level instructions; Argon turns a brief request into dozens of detailed Genie 4 prompts describing each step of a workflow. Google is testing Genie 4 with a limited number of early adopters and plans to make it available through its Google AI Ultra subscription for consumers, the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.

> Google LLC today previewed Genie 4, an artificial intelligence model that can generate realistic three-dimensional environments.
> 
> The algorithm is the latest addition to a series of world models that the company launched in 2024. Compared to its predecessor, Genie 4 is better at rendering fluid movements and other complex details. Furthermore, it can generate accompanying audio such as the sound of crashing waves.

> 
> Users can create a virtual world by providing Genie 4 with a natural language description of what they wish to render. They can then navigate the simulation and make edits by entering follow-up prompts. For example, a user could ask Genie 4 to change the weather or add more objects. The model can make such edits in a manner that doesn’t decrease the virtual world’s photorealism or consistency.
> 
> Genie 4’s natural language interface is available alongside keyboard controls.
