Genesis is a newly announced universal physics engine developed by a large-scale collaboration led by CMU PhD student Zhou Xian. It integrates multiple state-of-the-art physics solvers to simulate diverse materials and physical phenomena, targeting robotics applications with features like lightweight, ultra-fast simulation, photo-realistic rendering, and generative data capabilities. The engine is open source and designed for robotics simulation beyond just video generation. Additionally, OpenAI released the o1 model to API with advanced features like function calling and vision support, showing strong math and coding performance. Google teased updates on Gemini 2.0 Pro, accelerating deployment for advanced users.
