Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is out: 15-second video, and video output 30% cheaper

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on the Gemini API on November 5, as gemini-omni-1.2-flash. ArtificialWatch's radar saw the id in a catalog sweep at 16:00:45 UTC and fired its alert at 16:01:48 UTC.

THE PRICE

$1.50 per 1M input tokens, $9 per 1M text output and $12 per 1M video output, down from $17.50 for Omni 1.1 Flash. Google puts that at about $0.07 a second of 720p video: roughly $0.70 for a 10-second clip and $1.04 for 15 seconds. There is no free tier.

WHAT CHANGED, PER GOOGLE

- Clips up to 15 seconds, against 10 on 1.1.
