DeepMind unveils Genie 4 world model promising more realistic physics and humans

Genie 4 will roll out to developers and Google AI Ultra subscribers soon.

The short version

• Last year, Google DeepMind sent gaming stocks tumbling with the reveal of its Genie 3 world model .
• Since then, world models have become a major focus of AI labs around the world, but Google isn’t resting on its laurels.
• Researchers have been hard at work on an updated model that improves on Genie 3 in almost every way.

What happened

And if you pay Google enough money, you might actually get to use Genie 4 before too long. DeepMind says this technology could create infinite training environments for physical robots or unlock new avenues of rapid prototyping for creative fields.

Why it matters

Of course, that requires the model to accurately simulate what you want.
