Google's Genie 4 world model adds audio, more realistic worlds, and real-time steering

Google DeepMind released Genie 4, a world model generating photorealistic, interactive environments with real-time audio. Users can type prompts mid-simulation to alter scenes, weather, or characters. The model maintains consistent scenes for up to two minutes, double its predecessor's limit. It integrates with Gemini for planning and is available as a research preview for trusted testers, with broader rollout to subscribers planned.
