DeepMind releases Genie 4 as a research preview

Google DeepMind on Oct. 27, 2026 released Genie 4, a world model with native audio and text steering during a running scene, as a research preview for trusted testers. A later release is planned for Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and for early-access Gemini API and AI Studio partners. DeepMind said Gemini 3.8 Flash breaks goals into steps and that object permanence, legible text, and audio accuracy can still drift; TechCrunch reported a two-minute limit from a briefing that the DeepMind post does not state.
