Google Launches Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: 15-Second Video, 4K Output, 30% Cheaper
Google officially released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on November 6, touting lower costs and stronger video generation capabilities—one of the most closely watched AI product launches of this update cycle.
Confirmed
- Per-video generation and editing limit raised to 15 seconds, with 15-second long videos available on the Ultra subscription (per @GoogleAI's official post)
- Improved scene coherence over time, with fewer jump cuts and other visual artifacts and reduced visual drift; better fidelity to reference materials
- More natural character voices with improved speech quality
- Support for deeper cinematic camera/angle control, plus multi-turn conversational video editing
- Pricing is 30% lower than the previous Omni generation; according to Phil Schmid (@philschmid), the model is live on the Gemini API and Google AI Studio at $0.07 per second for 720p
- The official blog's images showcase video/image understanding and generation across multiple scenes, including macro shots of honeycombs, cartoon characters, street scenes, and close-ups of an octopus
Why it matters
- This update simultaneously pushes forward video duration, consistency, and price, further lowering the barrier for developers and creators to use long-form AI video generation
- Positioned as a fast, cost-effective, tool-style model aimed directly at developer integration, potentially intensifying price competition with comparable video generation APIs
