Google makes its Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash video model generally available on Google Cloud, with clips of up to 15 seconds at 30% less

Google's Cloud blog said on 5 November: “Today, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available on Google Cloud.” Google's Keyword blog post of the same day describes Omni as a model for making and editing video.

Clips can now run up to 15 seconds, up from 10 in Omni 1.1, set in one-second steps from 3 to 15. “We have dropped the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 making it available at $0.07 per second for 720p video,” Google says.

The model is available through the Gemini API, AI Studio, Flow, Google Vids, Google Ads and Provisioned Throughput on Google Cloud, and is rolling out in the Gemini app to Google AI Ultra subscribers. Its outputs carry Google's SynthID watermark. The Cloud post lists Gemini for business as coming soon.

Google gives no benchmark scores for the new version, only side-by-side examples against 1.1, and claims better adherence to reference images and more consistency. The 1080p price is not on either Google page. For AI video, the price per second is what decides whether advertisers and app makers can afford to generate clips at volume, so a 30% cut matters as much as the longer clips.
