Summary
The release of Genie 4 comes a couple of months after AI video startup Runway released its second world model, GWM Worlds 2, a playable model that responds dynamically to user inputs and includes audio generation. Genie 4 is Google’s latest move to stay ahead in the crowded field. Google released its predecessor, Genie 3, as a research preview a little over a year ago. Gemini, Google’s AI model, is also more closely integrated with Genie 4, acting as the director that plans steps and checks frames while Genie creates the visuals.
