Google’s Genie 3 interactive model
Genie 3 from Google DeepMind takes world models to the next level, generating fully interactive 720p environments at 24 FPS that respond to your actions in real time. From volcanic terrains to deep-sea explorations, it simulates physics, weather, and rich ecosystems with stunning consistency for minutes at a time.
By combining video generation, intuitive physics, and embodied agent research, Genie 3 opens the door to limitless training grounds for AI and immersive virtual experiences for humans. It’s a critical step toward AGI, enabling agents to learn, adapt, and act inside dynamic, ever-evolving worlds.
OpenAI Launches Open Source Models
OpenAI just dropped gpt-oss-120B and 20B, its first open-weight reasoning LLMs since GPT‑2, and they’re already topping Hugging Face. With Apache 2.0 licensing, developers can now run, modify, and deploy frontier‑level models locally—whether on an 80GB GPU or even a 16GB laptop.
The 120B model rivals o4‑mini, while the smaller 20B competes with o3‑mini, both supporting adjustable reasoning, function calling, web search, and Python execution. After years of closed releases, OpenAI has finally handed the open-source community the keys to near‑frontier AI.
