Google releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, supports videos up to 15 seconds long and is officially available for commercial use

On November 5, Google released the video generation and editing model Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash and made it officially available for commercial use (GA) on Gemini API and Gemini for business. The model can natively generate videos with sound up to 15 seconds long at a time, with duration selectable by the second from 3 to 15 seconds, and is priced at $0.07 per second for 720p, a 30% price reduction from version 1.1.

According to the official pricing page, 720p is billed at about 5,792 output tokens per second, or about $1.04 for 15 seconds. 360p costs about $0.023 per second, or about $0.35 for 15 seconds; upsampling to 1080p costs about $0.104 per second, or about $1.56 for 15 seconds; and 4K costs about $0.209 per second, or about $3.13 for 15 seconds. The API free tier is not available, and a paid account is required. Starting December 3, API requests to version 1.1 will be automatically routed to 1.2 and billed at 1.2 prices.

Developers can access it immediately through Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, while enterprises can use it through Google Cloud. Regular users can generate 15-second clips in Google Vids (no additional charge with a Google account or Workspace subscription), and Gemini App is being rolled out gradually to AI Ultra subscribers; it is also available in Flow and Google Ads. The model supports multi-turn conversational editing, up to 6 reference images plus motion video within 3 seconds, and more consistent preservation of character and product details.

ABAB AI Insight

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash was released by the Google DeepMind product team, marking the first official commercial availability (GA) for the Omni series. The model is available on Gemini API and Google Cloud, outputs SynthID watermarks, and supports Provisioned Throughput. The price has been reduced from version 1.1's roughly $0.10 per second (720p) to $0.07, the duration has been extended from 10 seconds to 15 seconds, and per-second settings are allowed.

In terms of capital and product strategy, Google is lowering per-generation costs through price cuts and longer durations, while making multi-turn conversational editing the core of the workflow: users can continuously modify the product, background, lighting, or aspect ratio on the same video instead of regenerating it. Reference-following capability supports up to 6 images plus a 3-second motion clip, and the official demo includes model try-ons and background switching. The API free tier is closed, forcing paid usage; requests to 1.1 will automatically migrate after December 3.

Compared with the Veo series, Omni has already replaced the Veo 3.1 preview version on the Gemini API, which was taken offline on October 22. Compared with OpenAI Sora, the Sora App was shut down on April 26, and the API service was discontinued on September 24. On third-party platforms such as Runway, Omni 1.2's $0.07 per second (720p) is lower than the listed prices for Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, and Kling. Google said fast sports motion and complex physics still need improvement, and that a full evaluation has been completed only for English prompts.

For developers and enterprises, official commercial availability and the price cut bring 15-second sound video directly into production workflows, while multi-turn editing reduces iteration costs. For regular users, Google Vids offers 15-second generation at no extra cost, and the rollout in Gemini App and Flow depends on subscription tier. The official demos and consistency claims come from Google itself, and third-party independent quality assessments have not yet been widely published.
