BorisMPower · x · 2026-10-28
Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced Genie 4, billed as the company's 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 conversing in real time.
- Simulate photorealistic scenes with real-world physics and more coherent multi-step events.
Commenters note controls still feel unresponsive at this stage, likening it to early GPT-3 days, but are eager to see it scale.
