Google releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash with 15-second video and 30% lower pricing

Google says Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available on the Gemini API and Google Cloud, and that this is the first time Gemini Omni is generally available. It generates and edits video natively up to 15 seconds long (up from 10 seconds with Omni 1.1), with duration settable in one-second steps from 3 to 15 seconds.

Google lists these changes:

• Price: 30% lower than Omni 1.1, at $0.07 per second for 720p video. Drafts can be made at 360p or 720p and the best results upscaled to 1080p or 4K.
• Editing: a clip can be refined turn by turn in a conversation, such as swapping a product or background or changing the lighting, instead of regenerating it.
• References: character, product or style images, motion clips of up to three seconds and audio cues are followed more closely.
• Consistency and speech: less drift and fewer jump cuts across camera moves, and clearer lip-sync and dialogue with several speakers.

It is available in Google AI Studio, the Google Cloud console (with Provisioned Throughput), Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads and, for Google AI Ultra subscribers, the Gemini app. Outputs carry a SynthID watermark. Google says fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics still need work. The claims are Google's own.
