Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash goes GA: 15-second video, conversational edits and a 30% price cut
What is it?
This is the new Flash version of Gemini Omni, Google's video generation model, and it's now generally available in the Gemini API and Gemini for business. Clips go up to 15 seconds instead of 10, and you can pick any length from 3 to 15 seconds in one-second steps. Multi-turn editing lets you revise the same clip conversationally, and it follows reference inputs (character or product images, motion clips up to three seconds, audio) more closely.
Why does it matter?
It's 30% cheaper than Omni 1.1, at $0.07Vendor claim per second of 720p video. The intended workflow is to draft at 360p or 720p, fix details with follow-up edits instead of regenerating, then upscale only the keepers to 1080p or 4K, which suits teams producing lots of ad variants or product videos. This is also the first time Gemini Omni has been GA, and with Provisioned Throughput and SynthID watermarking it's easier for companies to buy and deploy.
Maturity
GAGenerally available in the Gemini API and on Google Cloud. 15-second video in the Gemini app is rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers first. Google says fast sports action and complex physics still need work.
