Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, released August 27, 2026, adds a workflow that separates prompt refinement from final output. Users can generate quick, cheap 360p drafts, then render at 720p once the prompt is locked, with upscaling to 4K available.
The model also accepts a reference video of up to three seconds, or analyzes up to ten seconds of existing footage to produce a seamless continuation. API pricing is per second of generated video: $0.03 for 360p, $0.10 for 720p, $0.15 for 1080p, and $0.30 for 4K. It is available in Google AI Studio and via API.
