Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available; independent tests have not scored it
Nobody outside Google has posted independent scores for Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash; Google says the video model is generally available as of Nov. 5 with 15-second clips and a 30% lower 720p rate.

Google released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on Nov. 5, 2026, and said the video-generation model is generally available on the Gemini API and Gemini for business1,2. Nobody independent has scored it yet on the tests Epoch AI and other third parties use for the models already on the scoreboard5. Google Cloud lists 720p generation at $0.07 per second, 30% below Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, and OpenRouter lists token rates of $1.50 per million input tokens and $9 per million output tokens, with a 131,072-token context window2,6. Developers can use the paid Gemini API and Google AI Studio; businesses can use Google Cloud, Google Vids and related apps; Google AI Ultra subscribers are in a Gemini-app rollout1,2,4.
The scoreboard still has no independent result for Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash on Epoch AI's Capabilities Index, a single number Epoch AI builds from many tests so models that sat different exams can be compared5. It also has no independent score on GPQA Diamond, graduate-level science questions; FrontierMath tiers 1-3, unpublished math problems; ARC-AGI-2, visual puzzles that need a new rule each time; SciCode, research-style coding; APEX-Agents, one-shot professional tasks; SimpleQA Verified, short closed-book facts; or CritPt, unpublished physics problems5.
Those tests have been run on other recent models. Epoch AI puts Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2, released Nov. 9, at 173.4 on the Capabilities Index, Google DeepMind's Gemini 4 Carbon, released Nov. 10, at 169.8, and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, released Sept. 3, at 1695. On GPQA Diamond, Epoch AI has Gemini 4 Carbon at 96.5%, GPT-6 Astra at 95.8% and Claude Fable 5.2 at 93.9%5. On FrontierMath tiers 1-3, Epoch AI has Claude Fable 5.2 at 95.1%, GPT-6 Astra at 93.7% and Gemini 4 Carbon at 90.5%5. None of those figures apply to Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash5.
Google presents Omni 1.2 Flash as a video model, not as a drop-in rival on those text and agent tests1,2. Google says native clips now run up to 15 seconds, up from 10 seconds on Omni 1.1, with duration set in one-second steps from 3 to 151,3. Google says users can edit the same clip over several chat turns instead of regenerating it, and that outputs carry a SynthID watermark1,2. Google DeepMind's own side-by-side tests, reported by Unite.AI and The Next Web, give Omni 1.2 a 62% visual-consistency win rate against 38% for Omni 1.1 in text-to-video, and a 63% multi-reference identity-consistency win rate against 37%3,4. Those numbers are Google's, not an outside lab's3,4.
Unite.AI, citing Google's developer pricing, says paid Gemini API video output is $12 per million tokens, metered at 5,792 tokens per second of 720p, or about $0.70 for 10 seconds and $1.04 for 15 seconds, and that the model is not on the free tier3. Google says it is still working on fast sports action, rapid script changes and complex physics1,4. There is no previous Google text model in the assignment to compare on independent scores, and the scoreboard does not rank Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash among the 44 ranked models5.
