Genie 3
Google DeepMind's world model that generates an interactive, playable environment in real time from a text or image prompt.
Definition
Genie 3 is a world model from Google DeepMind that generates an explorable environment on the fly: starting from a text description or an image, it renders new video frames in real time in response to a user's actions, the way a game engine would, rather than producing a single fixed video clip. In 2026 Google shipped it to consumers as Project Genie, a limited beta where subscribers can seed a world and remix its art style, though each generated world currently lasts only about a minute and Google is careful to describe it as a prototyping tool rather than a game engine. It's an example of world models moving from a research concept toward a real-time, interactive product.
