Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available with 15-second video and 30% lower video output pricing

On November 5, 2026, Google announced in the Gemini API changelog that its video generation model gemini-omni-1.2-flash had become generally available in the Gemini API and Gemini for business. The release raised the maximum video length from 10 to 15 seconds, cut video output pricing by 30% and doubled paid-tier rate limits.

What changed

• Video length: generation of videos of up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds.
• Interpolation and extension: first-and-last-frame interpolation covers 3 to 10 seconds, and per-turn video extension covers 3 to 10 seconds, up to 30 seconds total.
• Consistency and editing: improved character and subject consistency across up to 6 reference images, plus support for multi-turn conversational editing.
• Pricing and limits: video output pricing is 30% lower, at $12.00 per 1M tokens according to the changelog, and paid-tier rate limits are doubled.
• Routing: effective December 3, 2026, requests to gemini-omni-1.1-flash would route automatically to gemini-omni-1.2-flash at 1.2 rates.

What it means for people building with AI

Video generation in the Gemini API became both cheaper and longer in a single release. For developers building video features, that meant videos of up to 15 seconds, a 30% lower video output price and doubled paid-tier rate limits, together with conversational editing and more consistent characters and subjects across reference images. The older model was part of the change as well: requests to gemini-omni-1.1-flash were set to route to gemini-omni-1.2-flash automatically, at 1.2 rates.

Availability in other Google products

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash was also available in Flow, in Google Vids, where 15-second clips came at no additional cost, and in Google Ads. In Google's announcement post, the company said that, for the first time, Gemini Omni was generally available backed by Google Cloud's enterprise-grade infrastructure and security.
