The most dramatic leap is how Genie 4 simulates people, creating characters that move naturally, respond organically to their environments, and can be interactively steered in real-time.
Key facts
- The team have started rolling Genie 4 out as a research preview for trusted testers, gathering feedback before they release it to consumers and developers, starting with Google AI Ultra subscribers
- Genie 4 has been released as a research preview to trusted testers, and is coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio
- As part of exploring this capability, they have also been experimenting with Gemini 4 Argon and Genie 4 to bring their frontier research together with Gemini Robotics
- This capability becomes a path for simulating a breadth of scenarios in imagined worlds, using Gemini 4 Argon and Genie 4
Summary
Raia Hadsell, Diego Rivas and Hang Qi. The Genie 4 model incorporates and builds on capabilities from the Gemini family: Gemini Omni anchors the simulations in real-world appearance and behavior, while other Gemini models provide the complex reasoning needed to help maintain a simulation’s coherence and continuity. With this foundation, you can set an event in motion, and Genie 4 simulates what happens next: how the world responds, how it sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak. Understanding and simulating the world is a crucial aspect of building AGI. The team have started rolling Genie 4 out as a research preview for trusted testers, gathering feedback before they release it to consumers and developers, starting with Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners of the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.
