Summary
Google rolled out Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash in the Gemini API and AI Studio, positioning the model for production use in generative video workflows and creative software.
10-second scene context now lets the model extend clips with better continuity, generating new footage in 10-second increments up to a cumulative 40 seconds.
360p draft generation runs up to 60% faster and costs one-third as much as standard 720p output, while finished videos can be upscaled to 1080p or 4K.
New controls also let developers define first and last frames for continuous shots and use up to 3 seconds of reference video to preserve visual context and character consistency.
Omni 1.1 is available starting today across Google AI Studio, the Enterprise Agent Platform, Google Flow for AI Plus, Pro and Ultra users, and scene extension in the Gemini app.
Is Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash merely a creative tool, or a Trojan horse designed to lock filmmakers into Google's enterprise cloud?
Can Google's rate-limited AI video ecosystem quietly bankrupt the credit-based business models of its biggest generative competitors?
With rivals using massive multimodal references, can Google's brief three-second clip limit truly maintain flawless character consistency across extended scenes?
