Tier 0 Proprietary service
What the publisher claims: research preview
The one-liner: The frontier world model, fully closed.
The six questions
No downloadable artifacts.
No license grant.
Hosted only.
Announcement posts describe capabilities, not data or methods.
No reproduction path.
Genie ships demos behind access tiers with no weights, code, repository, or community channel at all, so there is no participation path for anyone outside Google DeepMind.
