Google DeepMind launched Project Genie (Genie 3 + Nano Banana Pro + Gemini), a prototype for creating interactive, real-time generated worlds from text or image prompts, currently available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. (18+) with noted limitations like ~60s generation limits and imperfect physics. In parallel, the open-source LingBot-World offers a real-time interactive world model with <1s latency at 16 FPS and minute-level coherence, emphasizing interactivity and causal consistency. In video generation, xAI Grok Imagine debuted strongly with native audio support, 15s duration, and competitive pricing at $4.20/min including audio, while Runway Gen-4.5 focuses on animation workflows with new features like Motion Sketch and Character Swap. The 3D generation space sees fal adding Hunyuan 3D 3.1 Pro/Rapid to its API offerings, extending model-as-a-service workflows into 3D pipelines.
