Google announces Genie 4 world model for real-time multimodal simulation (research preview)

Google introduced Genie 4, a new multimodal world model that generates photorealistic visuals, native audio (music, ambience, dialogue), and real-time interactive simulations. Built on capabilities from the Gemini family (including Gemini Omni), Genie 4 is rolling out as a research preview to trusted testers—initially Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners of the Gemini API and Google AI Studio.

AI breakthroughs in robotics won’t change your life any time soon

A MIT Technology Review piece (with Aventine) surveys high-profile claims about humanoid robots—from Tesla’s Optimus hype to bullish statements by industry figures—and contrasts them with skeptical views from roboticists who say current AI advances (and language/image-based models) don’t yet solve the physical and control challenges of generalist robots. The article highlights examples of real progress, such as Google DeepMind’s ALOHA 2 paired with Gemini Robotics, but argues that meaningful, widely useful humanoid automation remains distant and timelines are uncertain.
