# Google DeepMind's Genie 3 generates interactive worlds in real time

Genie 3 is a general-purpose world model that generates navigable, interactive 3D environments from text prompts in real time at 720p and 24 fps, staying consistent for a few minutes.

## Key facts
- Announced 5 August 2025
- Real-time generation at 24 frames per second, 720p
- Environments remain consistent for a few minutes, with visual memory of about a minute
- Supports 'promptable world events' that alter the scene via text
- Released as a limited research preview

## What happened

DeepMind showed a model that renders explorable worlds frame-by-frame in response to user actions.

## Why it matters

World models are seen as a path to training embodied agents and robots in unlimited simulated environments.
