Google DeepMind has introduced Genie 3, an AI world model that allows users to create and interact with 3D environments in real time at 720p resolution. Unlike previous versions, Genie 3 supports extended interaction, offering several minutes of immersive experiences. Users can dynamically modify environments, demonstrating potential applications in video games, virtual reality, and AI training.

Key advancements include:

- Object Permanence: Changes made to the environment, such as painting a wall, persist even after scene changes, enhancing realism.

- Extended Interaction: Supports longer, more immersive sessions compared to earlier models.

Currently, Genie 3 is available to select testers, with broader applications anticipated in the near future. This development underscores DeepMind's commitment to advancing AI capabilities in creating and interacting with complex virtual environments.

Sakana's Fugu delivers multi-agent frontier performance through one API - and pitches it as an export-control hedge

Sakana AI has launched Fugu and Fugu Ultra, a multi-agent orchestration system delivered as a single foundation model - Fugu is itself an LLM trained to route tasks across a swappable pool of the world's best models (and recursively to itself) via one OpenAI-compatible API. Sakana says Fugu Ultra matches frontier models like Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos Preview on demanding engineering, science, and reasoning benchmarks, while pitching the approach as an AI-sovereignty hedge: if one provider's access disappears, as with Anthropic's recently export-controlled models, Fugu reroutes around it. It is generally available today through subscription and pay-as-you-go tiers.
