- Genie 3 is a new AI model by Google DeepMind.
- It can generate interactive 3D environments in real time.
- Users simply enter a text prompt (e.g., “a forest with animals”), and Genie 3 creates a consistent 3D simulation at:
- 24 frames per second
- 720p resolution
- Lasts a few minutes
Key Improvements Over Previous Versions
- Genie 1 & 2: Initial versions of world models
- Genie 2: Interactive time lasted only 10–20 seconds
- Genie 3:
- Longer interaction time (“few minutes”)
- Improved visual consistency:
- Objects or places look the same when revisited during simulation
Why Are World Models Important?
- World models help AI understand physical environments and simulate them accurately
- Useful for:
- AI training in dynamic virtual spaces
- Simulating cause-effect actions (key to robotics, games, AGI)
- DeepMind calls world models a “stepping stone toward AGI” (Artificial General Intelligence)
- Enables infinite curriculum training in simulated environments
