## Summary

Google DeepMind has introduced Genie 4, the successor to Genie 3, which generates interactive worlds frame by frame with directly generated sound and talking characters. Gemini models plan the simulation in the background, and the company says Genie 4 is currently available only to select testers as a research preview. DeepMind calls it an early, experimental model, noting that visual details can shift and objects may not persist in longer sessions.
