Amazing and rewarding to see our small-team research effort (led by @ashrewards , @jparkerholder, @_rockt et al.) take on a life of its own as an ever-improving flagship Google product! For me personally, a crazy idea I proposed in my 2019 AI-GA paper (a NN as the entire environment including pixels, sound, etc.) barely worked in Genie1 (2024), worked decently in Genie 2 (8 months later), became incredible in Genie3 (9 months later), and now Genie4 seems ready for Hollywood and VR. What an arc to observe in such a short time. Wild times! Now imagine open-ended learning in Genie. ✨ 🚀

I am a little sad that folks are not planning to be in Atlanta

@mark_riedl -how do we make this attractive?

Project Genie is magical... but we've also been working on some new ways to interact with another player (or agent).

It was super fun to demo this new capability at Google I/O this week, where we enabled attendees to explore worlds with Gemini as a companion. Going forward, we are incredibly excited to see how this can enable Gemini to learn how to interact with humans in embodied environments.

Some examples of interacting with Gemini in real-time within these generated worlds:

Thrilled to share that we founded Recursive to create AI that safely conducts experiments on how to improve itself in an open-ended process of endless, automated scientific discovery. As I wrote in my 2019 AI-generating algorithms paper, this will likely be the fastest path to superintelligence. Our work since has shown the power of this approach. Excited to scale up and improve upon ideas like the Darwin Gödel Machine, HyperAgents, ADAS, OMNI, ALMA, The AI Scientist, PromptBreeder, Rainbow Teaming, Automated Capability Discovery, and other work on open-ended and AI-generating algorithms. We’ve assembled a dream team of researchers and significant resources to pursue this vision. My amazing co-founders are pictured here, and we have an all-star team of founding members (we’re over 25 and growing).

Please join us if you are interested! Follow our progress @Recursive_SI

Genie 3 feels like a watershed moment for world models 🌐: we can now generate multi-minute, real-time interactive simulations of any imaginable world. This could be the key missing piece for embodied AGI… and it can also create beautiful beaches with my dog, playable real time
