## Summary

Google announced Genie 4, a world model for generating interactive experiences, as a research preview for trusted testers. The company says it creates more realistic worlds, updates experiences in real time from natural language prompts, generates audio, and uses Gemini 3.8 Flash for simulations. Clips run about two minutes, up from one minute for Genie 3, though Google warns that details and object permanence can shift over longer simulations.
