Genie 3 Overview

Announced on August 5, 2025, Genie 3 is DeepMind's revolutionary general‑purpose AI world model for interactive 3D environment generation. From a short text prompt, this advanced world modeling system generates a navigable, interactive 3D world in real time (~24 fps) at 720p resolution, with minutes‑long environmental consistency and text‑prompted dynamic world events during real-time exploration. It represents a critical milestone toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and next-generation AI simulation technology.

What Genie3 is

A world model that simulates an explorable environment conditioned on user actions and optional text events—more than a video generator, it's a closed‑loop simulation that understands physics and maintains world consistency.

Key specs

  • • Real-time interaction at ~24 fps
  • • 720p output resolution
  • • Multiple minutes of consistency
  • • ~1 minute visual memory for out-of-view objects
  • • Dynamic world modification via text prompts

Status

Limited research preview announced August 2025. Access restricted to selected academics and creators. GPTBots.ai announced partnership for integration. No public API/SDK available yet.

Why it matters

"World models are key on the path to AGI, specifically for embodied agents," - Jack Parker-Holder, DeepMind. Enables unlimited training environments for robotics, self-driving cars, and general AI systems. Explore the full capabilities that make this possible.

Key Breakthrough Features

Self-Learned Physics

Unlike traditional engines, Genie 3 teaches itself how the world works — how objects move, fall, and interact — without explicit programming.

God Mode for Reality

Dynamic world events: skiing down a mountain, type "add a herd of deer" — they appear instantly. Reality generated and modified on the fly.

Persistent Memory

Circle back to where you started, and the same objects are still there — buildings, gondolas, terrain features all remembered up to a minute.

Technical Evolution

From Genie 2 to Genie 3

• Genie 2: 10-20 seconds of generation → Genie 3: Multiple minutes of consistency
• Enhanced physical realism and world coherence
• First DeepMind world model allowing real-time interaction
• Built on foundations of Veo 3 video model for physics understanding
• See live demonstrations of these improvements in action

Research Team Insights

"There are a lot of things that have to happen before a model can be deployed in the real world, but we do see it as a way to more efficiently train models and increase their reliability."
