What changed: Google DeepMind announced Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, which natively generates video up to 15 seconds long (up from 10 seconds in Omni 1.1), with improved multi-turn conversational editing and reference adherence. Pricing dropped 30% from Omni 1.1, to $0.07 per second for 720p video. The model is now generally available on the Gemini API and Google Cloud.
Who is affected
Businesses and developers using the Gemini API, Google Cloud, Google Vids, Gemini for business, Flow, Google Ads, and the Gemini app (for Google AI Ultra subscribers) are affected.
What it means for your business
For businesses using the Gemini API, Vids, or Ads for video content, this means longer (up to 15-second) and cheaper ($0.07 per second, 30% lower) video generation, with product and ad clips produced with fewer full re-generations.
What to do
Test your ad and product video workflows on the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, or Google Vids; use multi-turn conversational editing to adjust existing clips instead of regenerating them, and update your budget for the new $0.07-per-second, 720p pricing.
When it takes effect
The model became generally available on the Gemini API and Google Cloud as of November 5, 2026, with rollout to other products (Gemini app, Ads) continuing.
