Genie
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

Size
How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.
- Parameters
- 10.7B
- Training data
- 942,000,000,000 tokens
- Batch size
- 512
When combined with the tokenizer and action model this brings the total to 10.7B parameters, trained on 942B tokens, which we refer to as the Genie model.
When combined with the tokenizer and action model this brings the total to 10.7B parameters, trained on 942B tokens, which we refer to as the Genie model.
As a result, for our final model, we train a 10.1B dynamics model with a batch size of 512, for a total of 125k steps, using 256 TPUv5p
Training compute
The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

We have chosen not to release the trained model checkpoints, the model’s training dataset, or examples from that data to accompany this paper or the website. We would like to have the opportunity to further engage with the research (and video game) community and to ensure that any future such releases are respectful, safe and responsible.

What the numbers mean
Background
Genie was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in February 2024. It comes out of industry.
It works in Video, Games, and is recorded as doing video generation, Image-to-video, Text-to-video.
Its weights were never published, so it can only be reached through its provider. No graphics card changes that.
Training and provenance
Producing it required around 6.6 × 10²² FLOP of arithmetic, on Google TPU v5p, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.
It was trained on about 942,000,000,000 tokens of text.
Answers
Genie — common questions
Is Genie open source?
No. Genie has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
How many parameters does Genie have?
Genie has 10.7B parameters. When combined with the tokenizer and action model this brings the total to 10.7B parameters, trained on 942B tokens, which we refer to as the Genie model. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.
Who created Genie?
Genie was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
When was Genie released?
Genie was published in February 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
What is Genie used for?
Genie works in Video, Games, and is recorded as handling video generation, Image-to-video, Text-to-video. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.
How much compute was used to train Genie?
Around 6.6 × 10²² FLOP, on Google TPU v5p. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.
What GPU do I need to run Genie?
None. Genie is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
