Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash is a production-ready (GA) update to Google's generative video line: 4K upscaling, scene extension up to 40 seconds, first-and-last-frame keyframe control, and a 360p drafting mode for cheaper iterations before the final render. It is available through the Gemini API and, for AI Plus / Pro / Ultra subscribers, in the Gemini app and Google Flow.

Imported from the existing research archive. Migration preserves the recorded judgment and is not a fresh verification.
What this means for you
Keyframe control plus a low-cost drafting tier make generative video controllable enough for product pipelines where iteration cost and shot-level precision previously ruled it out. The broader signal for API design is cost-tiered generation — draft cheap, render expensive — becoming a default pattern rather than an afterthought.
