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

Actions are persistent in the world.

watch out!

#Genie3 is a real, interactive, playable experience. We're having so much fun with it at work---in between meetings, during breaks. Here's Ruiqi Gao, Joe Ortiz, Rundi Wu following a pack of polar bears through a New York City street! Check out more on the webpage:

Genie 3 can do more than puddles.

Yesterday we announced Genie 3. One feature of the model that's especially fun to play with is starting worlds from existing videos. Here's a drone shot generated by Veo 3, with me taking control mid-flight.

Some people were worried that the Good Knight's world wasn't persistent so here he is doing some laps of the bridge.

More Genie 3 good knight - this time with dragon.

This is what it looks like in Genie 3.

Genie 3 for when your Veo clip ends too soon. Imagen -> Veo -> Genie 3.

Another cool thing that came from building a general model and then just exploring what it can do.

I got the Google DeepMind team to test Genie 3 with one of my artworks

Promptable world events weren't the most splashy part of Genie 3, presumably because it's similar to something normal video models kind of do. Nevertheless, it's satisfying to be exploring an environment and be able to make something interesting happen when you want.

We’re proud to announce that Genie 3 has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025. Genie 3 is our groundbreaking world model capable of generating interactive, playable environments from text or image prompts. Find out more → goo.gle/3KGqiYa
