Jeff Clune(@jeffclune):Amazing and rewarding to see our small-team research effort (led by @ashrewards , @jparkerholder, @_rockt et al.) take on a life of its own as an ever-improving flagship Google product! For me personally, a crazy idea I proposed in my 2019 AI-GA paper (a NN as the entire environment including pixels, sound, etc.) barely worked in Genie1 (2024), worked decently in Genie 2 (8 months later), became incredible in Genie3 (9 months later), and now Genie4 seems ready for Hollywood and VR. What an arc to observe in such a short time. Wild times! Now imagine open-ended learning in Genie. ✨ 🚀

This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.
