Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash

Wait, I thought we were on Gemini 4?

NitpickLawyer

Waiting for someone to test it with "~~A pelican~~Will Smith eating pasta while riding a bicycle" or something...

At least this one is available immediately.

Extending an exiting video by 15 seconds is pretty nuts.

it’s a shame that Google/Gemini decided to restrict and fuck other adventurous yet extremely gracious paying customers; who were excited at the prospect of not being locked in to two obnoxious companies. oh well, I guess we’ll just have to take that enthusiasm and roll it over to all the open weights on providers like fireworks.ai. or others. i’m so happy I got in early and paid for $200 a month for shit ass Opus 4.6 and sonnet 4.6 and being locked into the absolutely limited Gemini 3.8 flash.

Somewhere in the middle of the video it would suddenly scroll one screen back, happens with all videos on the page, eh

It's insane how Google has dropped the ball almost completely with AI. I literally don't care about their models anymore because I can't even try them without paying for them? I already pay for the plus plan but whatever their latest model was, is locked for me. Or otherwise it's just not accessible for me. If I try to add balance to my Google payment account, it shows me errors and is asking me to verify my identity through government documents. --- Not to mention the extremely confusing terminology. "Flash", "Experimental". Why are most of your models either of those two? I don't get the confidence that your models are any good because of such names. Give me a normal reliable model! Even if Google releases AGI tier models in the future, I'll always look for other models because Google clearly thinks their models are too good for any of us.

The rollout is so confusing. Going straight to the Gemini app and asking when I can use this model gets me vague and contradicting answers. Ultimately it sounds like the Vids rollout will take 1-3 days, and you can go to vids.new on desktop to see if you’ve won the lottery and have it available now, apparently on any free Google account. Business accounts can use it too. Meanwhile the Gemini app is getting it on paid plans, but with different video length limits and no clear rollout timeline. If you pay for the API, it’s available now apparently. Why is this so difficult to figure out?

Why do we need this?

A simple observation I have > https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/med... Text from the first paragraph on the page says > Today, we’re rolling out Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, and making it generally available across the Gemini API and Gemini for business. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash introduces native 15-second video creation, multi-turn conversational editing capabilities, and enhanced reference following. We have dropped the price 30% from Gemini Omni 1.1 making it available at $0.07 per second for 720p video. Focus on this part > We have dropped the price 30% The text to speech audio says > We have dropped the price 3%

Completely random, but I was inspecting the source code for their Omni 1.2 Flash web page, and there are insane amount of newlines. There are seven newlines between the first line and the DOCTYPE. There are huge amount of newlines between each section. What did they use to generate this website?

I don't trust Google on AI. They should do an spin off if they want to be relevant in AI.

Hot take, Google should focus on their open weight models. I use Qwen 3.8 and it’s been amazing. I would pay for Max but there’s no provider or server here in the states. If they had an amazing Gemma 5, I would seriously consider trying their closed source models. Model comfort and familiarity is a real thing.

Google, just go back to making products instead of throwing announcements.

Not going to even read this post. While I have been really bullish on Google I am now tired of them constantly baiting us with vaporware announcements unfortunately.

Not sure why this is so mysterious to everyone. Google's main source of revenue is advertising (yes, still). This is one of paths that serve that. Still confused? Look at what Meta is doing with end-to-end ad creation. I'm not saying Omni makes good ads. It's all part of the toolbox.

Of all the uses of AI, producing convincing video is just about the worst one in my opinion.

Is the previous Gemini 4 Carbon model live yet? I still don't see it on OpenRouter... but this one seems to be there

Trying to "test" the model on OpenRouter, and keep failing with Gemini uptime being "68%". What a great way to start.
