TermCategoryDefinition
World MemoryConceptsThe capacity of an interactive world model to maintain a coherent state of the environment over extended time horizons. Genie 3 introduced explicit world memory of up to one minute, allowing scenes to remain consistent as agents revisit them.
Action ConditioningArchitectureA property of a world model whose predictions of future states depend explicitly on the action taken by the agent. Action-conditioned models support interactive simulation and planning, distinguishing true world models from passive video generators.
