Google DeepMind released Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash as a production-ready model via Google AI Studio and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform on August 27. The update significantly enhances video generation: it can read up to 10 seconds of preceding context for scene extension—compared to just one second previously—generating clips in 10-second increments up to a 40-second ceiling. New keyframe control lets developers specify first and last frames, with upscaling to 1080p or 4K and a cost-efficient 360p draft tier running at one-third the cost of standard 720p. Adobe Firefly, Figma Weave, and Runway are named as production integrations, positioning Google in direct competition with specialized video AI startups.
