Google's Genie promises Mario‑style worlds from prompts, but is it real game-making?

Google DeepMind’s Project Genie is an experimental tool that generates explorable, AI-driven worlds from text and visuals, rendering in real time as you move with restricted 60‑second play sessions at about 720p/24fps. Early demos have produced Mario- and Zelda‑style environments, but it isn’t a full game engine and IP restrictions are emerging. Currently limited to US Google AI Ultra subscribers, the tech raises intriguing questions about AI-assisted world-building versus true game development.

Google DeepMind Revolutionizes Weather Forecasting with AI Precision

Google DeepMind has introduced GenCast, an AI weather prediction model that surpasses traditional methods in accuracy for forecasts up to 15 days and excels in predicting extreme weather events. GenCast uses a probabilistic approach with ensemble predictions, trained on four decades of data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF). It outperformed ECMWF's 15-day forecast on 97.2% of variables and generates predictions in just eight minutes. The model represents a significant advancement in AI-driven weather forecasting, though further testing on extreme events is needed.

DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 Goes Open Source, Revolutionizing Protein Prediction

Google DeepMind has open-sourced AlphaFold 3, a significant advancement in protein structure prediction that can model complex interactions between proteins, DNA, RNA, and small molecules. This release, following the creators' Nobel Prize win, aims to accelerate drug discovery and molecular biology research. While the code is freely available, access to model weights requires permission, balancing open science with commercial interests. AlphaFold 3's diffusion-based approach enhances accuracy in predicting molecular interactions, promising substantial impacts on scientific discovery and medicine, despite some limitations.
