The current version focuses mainly on video generation and editing. However, Google says Gemini Omni will eventually support “any output from any input” over time.
Google confirmed that Gemini Omni Flash is rolling out starting today inside the Gemini app. It is also being integrated into Google Flow and YouTube Shorts tools.
API access is expected later, which means developers will eventually be able to build apps and services using the model as well.
Google also mentioned that a more advanced Pro version of Gemini Omni is planned for later.
Alongside Gemini Omni Flash, Google also announced updates to SynthID and C2PA verification tools.
The company says users will now be able to identify whether an image or video was generated or edited using AI. Google is adding C2PA content credentials verification into SynthID, which can show the origin of content and whether AI tools were used during editing.
These verification features are now rolling out inside Gemini. Google also confirmed that Search and Chrome will start supporting these indicators to help users identify AI-generated imagery more easily.
