We’re hiring student researchers at Google DeepMind for 2026. Come work with our great team in SF on anything from diffusion / world models / 3D.
Send me an email if you’re interested!
#Genie3 is a real, interactive, playable experience.
We're having so much fun with it at work---in between meetings, during breaks.
Here's @RuiqiGao, @joeaortiz, @ChrisWu6080 following a pack of polar bears through a New York City street! Check out more on the webpage:
Introducing our new MBRL agent for Craftax-classic. Our agent is both SOTA and the first to exceed human expert reward! 🕹️
The method combines new techniques for learning and planning with transformer world models.

Happy to share our new preprint “Improving Transformer World Models for Data-Efficient RL”: arxiv.org/abs/2502.01591
We propose a ladder of improvements to model-based RL and achieve for the first time a superhuman reward on the challenging Craftax-classic benchmark!

Robust visual + tactile perception is key for robot dexterity
In our new @SciRobotics paper, we use neural fields for in-hand reconstruction + pose estimation of novel objects.

See @Suddhus awesome thread below
For robot dexterity, a missing piece is general, robust perception. Our new @SciRobotics work combines multimodal sensing with neural representations to perceive novel objects in-hand. 🎲
Featured on the cover of the November issue!
