New on the radar: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash appeared in OpenRouter catalog

Our hourly sweep found an id that was not there an hour ago.

Catalog id: google/gemini-omni-1.2-flash Listed price: $1.50/$9.00 per 1M Context window: 131,072 tokens First observed by our sweep: 2026-11-05 19:28 UTC Source: OpenRouter catalog

This entry is machine-written from what the sweep actually read, and nothing else. A catalog listing is a primary source for exactly one narrow fact — that this id now exists, at this price, with this context window — and it is not evidence of anything beyond that. It does not tell you the model is good, that the listing is intentional, that the weights are open, or that the vendor has announced it. Those questions need a human and an editor's judgement, and this item deliberately does not answer them.

It maps to Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, already on our watchlist — registry note: live — Nov 5 · video generation and conversational editing · generally available on the Gemini API paid tier as gemini-omni-1.2-flash (Google's changelog, Nov 5) · up to 15-second clips (1.1 made 10), 3-10 s first-and-last-frame interpolation, 3-10 s per-turn extension up to 30 s in all, better character and subject consistency across up to 6 reference images, and doubled paid-tier rate limits (Google's changelog) · $1.50 per 1M input, $9 per 1M text output and $12 per 1M video output, down from $17.50 for 1.1; Google puts that at about $0.07 a second of 720p, roughly $0.70 for a 10-second clip and $1.04 for 15 seconds; no free tier (Google's pricing page, read 17:30 UTC Nov 5) · from Dec 3, requests to gemini-omni-1.1-flash route to 1.2 automatically, billed at 1.2 rates · our radar's catalog sweep first saw it at 16:00:45 UTC and fired at 16:01:48 UTC · also listed on OpenRouter (google/gemini-omni-1.2-flash) and Vercel's AI Gateway · before launch: Oct 18: @lyraxana says Google is working on Gemini Omni 1.5, with 15-second clips instead of the standard 10 (one account, unconfirmed); Google has said nothing · Oct 28 08:49 UTC: @lyraxana says gemini-omni-1.2-flash 'has been deployed and will be released soon' (one account, unconfirmed; our hunt fires on that id, so the name now reads 1.2+ to match what it hunts) · Nov 5 06:14 UTC: @Mr_Salio posted a screenshot he says shows gemini-omni-1.2-flash on Google Cloud; Google's Gemini API models page and changelog and the Vertex AI release notes still list only gemini-omni-1.1-flash, and no catalog we read lists a 1.2 (checked 06:30 UTC Nov 5), so it stays unconfirmed · Nov 5 08:30 UTC: @Mr_Salio posted what he says is its Google Cloud pricing, $1.50 per 1M input, $9 per 1M text output and $12 per 1M video output (1.1 is $17.50 per 1M video output); unconfirmed, as Google's Gemini API and Vertex AI pricing pages still list only 1.1 (checked 09:30 UTC); Google's published price on launch day matched it · Nov 5 16:02 UTC: @LuminaBench, @Mr_Salio and @lyraxana posted screenshots of it in the Gemini API, a minute after our radar fired (a desk note at 16:28 UTC wrongly said the radar had not seen it).
