Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model:
- steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions
- generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time!
- simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics
- create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini
We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.

JUST IN: Google DeepMind unveils Genie 4, a new AI model that generates photorealistic, interactive 3D worlds in real time, complete with physics, sound, & human dialogue.

there's something genuinely beautiful about topology optimization
you give it a load case, a boundary, and a material budget and it just… removes everything that doesn't need to be there
no aesthetic intent
no design language
no human bias toward familiar shapes
just physics deciding what stays
the results look organic because nature runs the same algorithm stress flows material remains where it must everything else disappears
engineers spent centuries adding material for confidence
topology optimization asks a different question entirely:
what's the minimum structure that doesn't fail?
and the answer is always something that looks alive
Agents will need a todo list
Will start with Trello
Create a card for 1 task and connect it to the agent
I’ve been using agents wrong.
I’ll be digging deeper into it, sharing learnings and ways to orchestrate better.
How is everyone using it? Tips always appreciated.
Does it hold up for at least a century?
Those tests and simulations will be interesting to see
Great new developments but the question is if they can hold up over years
Nature is quite good at decaying things
Robots don’t understand it yet
But this is the beginning of them getting personalities
The Creator robot outfits are becoming real
Since they’ll have local LLMs there’s a chance they might start questioning this
The perfect time
The perfect plan
These are conditions that never exist and trap many great minds today
Just start
AI borrowed from the brain. Robotics is starting to borrow from the rest of nature: gecko feet that climb glass, octopus arms that grip anything.
Biomimicry has always fascinated me. I'm digging deeper and sharing what I learn along the way.
