AI World Model Comparison

How to read this comparison

Genie 3 is an interactive world model, not a conventional video generator. The presence of playable, real‑time environments at 720p / 24fps should be considered separately from models that produce linear video clips. For a capabilities deep‑dive, see the Technical Specs page; for definitions and key concepts, visit the Glossary; and for top questions see the FAQ.

The table and cards above focus on practical differences users will notice: whether a system is interactive in real time, whether it outputs a playable environment or a video, and how resolution and frame rate typically present in demos. When evaluating fit, consider your goal: prototyping interactive experiences, video content production, or research experiments. Each model category excels in different workflows.

Decision checklist

• If you need real‑time interaction, prioritize world models over video generators.
• For marketing videos or b‑roll, high‑fidelity video generators may be more efficient.
• For agent training, favor environments with persistence and consistent physics cues.
• Validate latency and control in your own network conditions before committing.
