Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: 15-sec video, lower cost
Original: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Why This Matters
Longer clips and lower API costs lower the bar for developer adoption of AI video tools.
Google DeepMind launched Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on Nov 5, 2026, adding native 15-second video generation, improved reference adherence, multi-turn conversational editing, and reduced pricing for developers.
Google DeepMind's Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash arrives with three headline upgrades: native 15-second video clip generation (up from shorter prior limits), stronger consistency when following reference images or style prompts, and multi-turn conversational editing that lets users refine output through dialogue rather than starting over. The update also cuts generation costs, positioning the Flash tier as a faster and more affordable option compared to the full Gemini Omni line. Product Manager Anish Nangia framed the release as making video creation 'faster and more cost-effective.' The model is rolling out via Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. No specific pricing figures were disclosed in the available excerpt, but the cost reduction is explicitly highlighted as a key selling point for developers building video-generation applications.
