Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash goes GA with 30% cheaper video output

Video output drops to $12 per million tokens, and 1.1 Flash reroutes on December 3.

Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on the Gemini API and Google Cloud on November 5, 2026. The video generation and editing model succeeds Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, cuts video output pricing by 30% and raises the clip limit from 10 to 15 seconds.

What changed

  • New model ID: gemini-omni-1.2-flash, generally available on the paid tier of the Gemini API. There is no free tier.
  • Clips run 3 to 15 seconds, set in one-second steps, with native audio. First and last frame interpolation covers 3 to 10 seconds, and video extension adds 3 to 10 seconds per turn, up to 30 seconds in total.
  • Multi-turn conversational editing of the same clip, and better consistency across up to 6 reference images. On Google Cloud, audio references need allowlisting.
  • Video output drops from $17.50 to $12.00 per million tokens, and Google doubled paid-tier rate limits.
  • From December 3, 2026, requests to gemini-omni-1.1-flash route automatically to gemini-omni-1.2-flash and are billed at 1.2 rates.

Gemini API prices

Per million tokens, from Google's Gemini API pricing page on November 5, 2026:

Token typeOmni 1.1 FlashOmni 1.2 Flash
Input (text, image, video)$1.50$1.50
Text output$9.00$9.00
Video output$17.50$12.00

Google bills video by output tokens, at 5,792 tokens per second of 720p video. Google's own per-second figures at the new rate:

ResolutionPer second of video
360p$0.023
720pabout $0.07
1080p (upsampled)$0.104
4K (upsampled)$0.209

At 720p, Google puts a 10-second clip at about $0.70 and a 15-second clip at about $1.04. Omni 1.1 Flash worked out to about $0.10 per second at 720p.

What to do

Code that still names 1.1 Flash moves to 1.2 on December 3, at 1.2 rates. To test and switch on your own schedule, change the model string:

gemini-omni-1.1-flash  ->  gemini-omni-1.2-flash

Check clip lengths, extension turns and reference image counts against the limits in Google's Omni guide before you switch.
