Google’s AI world model can now generate experiences based on real world places.

When making an interactive experience with Project Genie, you can now pick a place in the US and Genie can use Street View data from that place for grounding. You can also prompt a style to change what that place looks like in your interactive AI-generated world.

Google’s super expensive AI plan is getting cheaper.

It’s still expensive, though: Google AI Ultra plan, which used to cost $249.99 per month, now starts at $100 per month. There’s also a $200 per month option that includes access to Google’s Project Genie world model.

The two options for Ultra matches OpenAI’s approach for its Pro tier, which also now comes in $100 and $200 per month tiers.
