Overview
- Google rolled out Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, which Thursday made the model generally available across the Gemini API, Google Cloud, Google Vids, Flow and business channels.
- The update raises native clip length to 15 seconds and lets users set duration in one-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds so single generations can cover short ads and explainers.
- Google lowered its listed 720p rate by about 30% to $0.07 per second and recommends drafting at 360p or 720p then upscaling to 1080p or 4K to reduce costs; some third-party reports show a wider 720p API pricing range that teams should verify for budgeting.
- Omni 1.2 Flash adds multi-turn conversational editing so creators can refine a single clip turn by turn instead of re-rendering, and improves reference following to hold faces, garments, packaging text and brand colors across frames.
- Outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark and run on Google Cloud’s enterprise infrastructure, though Google notes limits remain for fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics.
