Genie 4 is out! If Genie 3 felt like a simulation of a video game, Genie 4 feels like an interactive movie. The visuals are much more realistic, audio makes it feel immersive, and you can prompt for whatever you want during the experience.

This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐

Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.
