Google releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash with 15-second video and 30% lower price
The video generation and editing model is generally available on the Gemini API and Google Cloud at $0.07 per second for 720p, with clips up from 10 to 15 seconds and multi-turn conversational editing; Google says fast sports action and complex physics still need work.
Why it matters
This is the first time Gemini Omni has been generally available with enterprise backing on Google Cloud, which moves Google's video model from a consumer feature in Flow and the Gemini app toward production use for ads, product clips and virtual try-ons. The 30% price cut and the jump from 10 to 15 seconds put direct pressure on rival video models on cost per clip. Google itself flags fast sports action and complex physics as unfinished; watch independent arena rankings and whether the SynthID watermark holds up in practice.
