Google DeepMind unveils Genie 4 world model with native audio, as a research preview

DeepMind announced Genie 4 on Oct. 27, a real-time world model with native audio. Users steer a running simulation by text and keyboard. It is a trusted-tester preview, coming to Google AI Ultra in Project Genie and early Gemini API partners, with no date. Output carries SynthID watermarks. DeepMind notes drift in long sessions and gives no benchmarks.
