Google DeepMind’s **Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash** now generates AI video clips up to **15 seconds long** (up from 10 seconds) and reduces pricing by **30%** to **$0.07 per second** for 720p. The model introduces **Conversational Editing**, allowing incremental adjustments like background or lighting without full regeneration. It also improves **reference adherence**, maintaining consistency in faces, clothing, and brand colors using input images or motion clips. Visual stability and natural dialogue—including lip-sync and multi-speaker distinction—are enhanced, alongside support for complex camera movements like drone footage.

Google’s **Gemini 4 Carbon** outperforms competitors on most enterprise AI benchmarks, including a **9-point lead** on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (59 vs. 58 for Claude Opus 5.5). It excels in **cybersecurity vulnerability detection** (+12.8% on ExploitGym) and **complex software engineering** (+5.3% on SWE-sweep), though it trails OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra in some coding and computer-use tests. Access remains restricted to Google’s **Fairwind Program** for cybersecurity defenders, with broader release pending feedback. Pricing matches Argon’s introductory rates ($2M input, $10M output tokens), but lacks a defined end date for discounts. Argon remains the publicly available model for now.
