The Brief · written from 2 sources
- Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash (gemini-omni-1.2-flash) generally available in the Gemini API and Google Cloud on November 5, 2026.
- The model generates and edits clips up to 15 seconds long with native audio.
- Edits can be made conversationally instead of re-rendering the whole clip from scratch.
- Reported price is $0.07 per second of generated video.
- Google shut down the Veo 3.1 Preview in the developer API on October 22, 2026, and is positioning Omni Flash as its default video model.
Why it matters
Developers building video generation or editing features now have a generally available Gemini API model, and Veo 3.1 Preview is no longer available in the developer API, so existing integrations need to move to Omni.

- Teams using Veo 3.1 Preview in the Gemini API
- Developers adding AI video generation or editing to apps
What to do
- Migrate any Veo 3.1 Preview calls to gemini-omni-1.2-flash, since Veo 3.1 Preview was shut down in the developer API on October 22, 2026
