US EditionWhy World Models Like Google’s Project Genie Work
Project Genie uses AI models to create short, explorable 3D worlds from text or images with 60-second sessions, initially for U.S. AI Ultra subscribers.
- Google DeepMind rolled out Project Genie through Google Labs, now available to US AI Ultra subscribers paying $250 and 18 or older.
- Google DeepMind said it released Project Genie to gather user feedback and train agents toward automated general intelligence by engaging external testers and users.
- Users create worlds by prompting and Nano Banana Pro sketches a preview, while Genie 3 autoregressively generates pixel-consistent frames at 24 frames per second in 720p with minute-scale session consistency.
- The rollout has already drawn attention from the video gaming industry as Project Genie raises concern among developers amid layoffs and negativity, while prototype guardrails and short session limits restrict early access.
- DeepMind says the team plans enhancements and eventual scaling to persistent worlds, acknowledging glitches like lagging controls and characters walking through walls, while other labs like Runway are entering world-model development.

Google expands access to Project Genie, its AI tool that turns photos and text into explorable worlds
Under the hood, Project Genie evolves from Genie 3, a world model first demonstrated by Google DeepMind last year. Unlike fully 3D game engines, world models don't construct continuous 3D geometry. Instead, they generate video sequences that appear interactive, adjusting what's shown in response to input commands. That gives the...Read Entire Article
