Yup, similar concepts! Just at two opposite extremes of the compute/scaling spectrum. - That forest trail world is ~5 million parameters, trained on 15 minutes of video, scoped to run on a five-year-old iPhone through a twenty-year old API (WebGL GPGPU, i.e OpenGL fragment shaders). It's the smallest '3D' world model I'm aware of. - Genie 3 is (most likely) ~100 billion parameters trained on millions of hours of video and running across multiple TPUs. I would be shocked if it's not the largest-scale world model available to the public. There are lots of neat intermediate-scale world models being developed as well (e.g. LingBot-World https://github.com/robbyant/lingbot-world, Waypoint 1 https://huggingface.co/blog/waypoint-1) so I expect we'll be able to play something of Genie quality locally on gaming GPUs within a year or two.
