- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash began rolling out across the Gemini API and Gemini for business as Gemini Omni became generally available for the first time; Google Cloud supports provisioned throughput, and outputs carry an imperceptible SynthID watermark.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash expanded native video length to 15 seconds from 10 seconds in Gemini Omni 1.1, with selectable durations from three to 15 seconds in one-second increments.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash dropped 30% in price from Gemini Omni 1.1 to $0.07 per second for 720p video; creators can draft at 360p or 720p and upscale outputs to 1080p or 4K.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash added multi-turn conversational editing across full 15-second clips, allowing changes to products, backgrounds, lighting, weather and aspect ratio without starting over or regenerating the clip.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash strengthened reference adherence by combining character, product or style images, motion clips up to three seconds and audio cues, keeping faces, garments, packaging typography and brand colors consistent across camera angles.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash produces more fluid dialogue, clearer lip-sync and distinct multi-speaker conditioning, while reducing visual drift and unwanted jump cuts and supporting complex continuous camera movements.
- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash remains under development for fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics, even as Google positions it for businesses, developers and creators producing videos at scale.
Why it matters: The 30% price cut to $0.07 per second, paired with 15-second multi-turn edits instead of full regenerations, lowers the production burden for businesses and creators making branded variants. General availability across the Gemini API and Gemini for business, backed by Google Cloud infrastructure, makes the workflow deployable for enterprise teams.
