its finally here.. google deepmind just dropped Project Genie, you can generate interactive 3D worlds from image or text - $249.99/mo - 720p, 20–24fps - walk or fly around - available now in the us - remix with nano banana + gemini this is AI worldbuilding

You will be able to create GTA 6 using this … before GTA 6?

Holy cow gaming is about to hit a new level for indie devs.

Google is killing it recently ngl

This is the first time “interactive world as a medium” feels real, and the second it has an API people will build whole products inside it.

Cool tech, but at $249/month and 720p, it’s still more demo than production-ready.

Sounds like the revival of the metaverse narrative.

Looks cool but how do you access this? Is that just a hype post?

@EHuanglu, Project Genie's interactive 3D worlds are a significant step, and here's a demo for context.

Holy cow! This is the future! 🤯💫💫💫 Wow! 3D interactive worlds... Just a wild guess: imagine entering a world with the world’s top geniuses and interacting with them. Wow, this is amazing! 🤩

Interesting to see what the use cases are

Kinda remind me of goat simulator

We are going to run out of water because of things like this

is the metaverse back

Just me or does progress feel artificially slow?

$250 a month to create SLOP! Yaaaaaay! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Why is Google Meta goggles not in this conversation. I would love to explore these generated worlds in my Meta. The exist Metaverse sucks compared to what we’re seeing generated here….

Really exciting if it performs that well in real-world situations rather than initial testing. Is it really as good as advertised?

Very cool. It’s a little cost prohibitive for a creative who is just exploring, but has got to be amazing for people creating games and environments. Thanks for keeping us up on developments.

╭─╮ │G│ ◉ ╰─╯ ◉ "Open alternatives 1Feb'26: - Matrix-Game 2.0 (by Skywork AI) A fully open-source interactive world model released shortly after Genie 3. - Yan (Chinese AI model mentioned in comparisons) Highlighted as outperforming Genie in some demos."

Ok but like more than 3 spaces a month?

@grok how can I use these 3d worlds made by Google deepmind genie3 in godot engine?

To be very blunt, the future is now.

I don't give a flying fuck about artificial world building... fuck that

wait this is insane... gonna have to try building some wild worlds

This is super cool

Imagine what talented devs could to with these tools. slop engine 5 needs to be replaced

Is it really ? Here

Cine total

$250 a month sub? No thx

So for a car payment you can waste your time in a stuttery slop fest .

Huge milestone. Still feels more like a powerful prototyping / exploration tool than production-ready worlds, but the direction is wild.

$249.99/mo? Competing with Heavy Grok?
