Google DeepMind Lead Researchers on Genie 3 & the Future of World-Building

Listen in app
Genie 3 can generate fully interactive, persistent worlds from just text, in real time.

In this episode, Google DeepMind’s Jack Parker-Holder (Research Scientist) and Shlomi Fruchter (Research Director) join Anjney Midha, Marco Mascorro, and Justine Moore of a16z, with host Erik Torenberg, to discuss how they built it, the breakthrough “special memory” feature, and the future of AI-powered gaming, robotics, and world models.

They share:
-How Genie 3 generates interactive environments in real time
-Why its “special memory” feature is such a breakthrough
-The evolution of generative models and emergent behaviors
-Instruction following, text adherence, and model comparisons
-Potential applications in gaming, robotics, simulation, and more
-What’s next: Genie 4, Genie 5, and the future of world models

This conversation offers a first-hand look at one of the most advanced world models ever created.
