Watching this develop has been incredibly motivating for us working on Genie - massive congrats to Waymo for making this dream use case for world models a reality!
Waymo@Waymo

We’re excited to introduce the Waymo World Model—a frontier generative mode for large-scale, hyper-realistic autonomous driving simulation built on @GoogleDeepMind’s Genie 3. By simulating the “impossible”, we proactively prepare the Waymo Driver for some of the most rare and complex scenarios—from tornadoes to planes landing on freeways—long before it encounters them in the real world. waymo.com/blog/2026/02/t…

Genie 3 🤝 @Waymo The Waymo World Model generates photorealistic, interactive environments to train autonomous vehicles. This helps the cars navigate rare, unpredictable events before encountering them in reality. 🧵

New court filings show how Elon was engaging in some maximum truth deleting. In his other frivolous lawsuit against us and Apple, the only nonpublic docs Elon and xAI have produced in response to discovery requests are their retention and employee policies. Why is this? Because he’s systematically used disappearing messages to cover his tracks everywhere else. Makes you wonder what he is hiding.

Thrilled to launch Project Genie, an experimental prototype of the world's most advanced world model. Create entire playable worlds to explore in real-time just from a simple text prompt - kind of mindblowing really! Available to Ultra subs in the US for now - have fun exploring!

SIMA 2 🤝 Genie 3 We tested SIMA 2’s abilities in simulated 3D worlds created by our world model Genie 3. It demonstrated unprecedented adaptability by navigating its surroundings and took meaningful steps toward goals.

Promptable world events weren't the most splashy part of Genie 3, presumably because it's similar to something normal video models kind of do. Nevertheless, it's satisfying to be exploring an environment and be able to make something interesting happen when you want.

Simulations are the future, & one of the main tools we’ll ultimately use to understand and predict things about the universe. This is why I’m so excited about Genie 3, our latest interactive world simulator - here are some insanely cool things you might have missed about it 🧵:

The pixel art demo is by far the coolest imo. We can do photorealism already. But this demonstrates something that NO other technology can do. I would love if you could try with a 1970s gouache watercolor concept painting style. I've always wanted to see what it would look like in motion. (midjourney prompt in the alt text)

This is what it looks like in Genie 3.

It is 2025. You type the world you want. The rain comes. The lights burn. A train glides away, straight and cold. People stand close. They wait and do not speak. Above them fish turn slow and bright. You type more. The city answers. It gives you color and noise and steam. It gives you the long street and the wet neon. It gives you the old hunger too. You feel it in the crowd. You feel it in the rail as it hums past. You try again. You ask for quiet. The rain softens. The crowd breathes. The koi slow and dim. It is almost right. It's Genie 3.

Yesterday we announced Genie 3. One feature of the model that's especially fun to play with is starting worlds from existing videos. Here's a drone shot generated by Veo 3, with me taking control mid-flight.

What if you could not only watch a generated video, but explore it too? 🌐 Genie 3 is our groundbreaking world model that creates interactive, playable environments from a single text prompt. From photorealistic landscapes to fantasy realms, the possibilities are endless. 🧵

#Genie3 is a real, interactive, playable experience. We're having so much fun with it at work---in between meetings, during breaks. Here's @RuiqiGao, @joeaortiz, @ChrisWu6080 following a pack of polar bears through a New York City street! Check out more on the webpage: goo.gle/genie-3

One nice thing you can do with an interactive world model, look down and see your footwear ... and if the model understands what puddles are. Genie 3 creation.
