The author shares the official DeepMind blog link for Genie 4, authored by Raia Hadsell, Diego Rivas and Hang Qi. The post confirms Genie 4 is a natively multimodal world model that generates audio-like music, ambient noises and interactive dialogue alongside the simulated world, leveraging the Gemini family for realism and reasoning-based coherence. DeepMind positions world simulation as crucial to AGI, with applications spanning robot and agent training environments and new interactive experiences. Rollout: research preview for trusted testers first, then Google AI Ultra subscribers via Project Genie and Gemini API/Google AI Studio early-access partners.
