Google DeepMind has confirmed Genie 4, its recently launched interactive world model, can maintain coherent simulation for a maximum of approximately two minutes. [^1]

Genie 4 was released as a research preview on October 27. The model generates explorable photorealistic scenes in real time, with native generated audio, physics simulation and scene editing capabilities. It is built on the Gemini Omni foundation. [^2] [^3]

DeepMind staff working on the model have stated Genie 4 creates naturally moving, interactively steerable characters. [^4] No general availability date for production use has been announced.
