Google has launched Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, an updated multimodal model that extends video understanding to 15-second clips at a cost of $0.07 per second of video processed. The release emphasizes speed and cost-efficiency, positioning it as the go-to option for developers who need fast, affordable video analysis at scale. Key improvements include longer clip support and optimized throughput compared to prior Flash variants, making it practical for applications like video search, content moderation, and media summarization. Developers can access the model via the Gemini API today, with pricing competitive enough to enable high-volume production workloads. This release reinforces Google's strategy of offering a tiered model lineup where Flash handles cost-sensitive, latency-critical use cases.
