Google didn't forget AI creators in its latest round of Gemini announcements.
Key facts
- Google called Gemini Omni "the next step" up from Nano Banana and, presumably, its current video generator, Veo 3.1
- Where Veo 3.1 was limited to video creations via prompts and images, Gemini Omni will accept a wider range of inputs and do a lot more
- The first model called Gemini Omni Flash is rolling out today to the Gemini app, Google Flow and YouTube Shorts
- All of that sounds great, but the main problem with Veo 3.1 and other video generator apps is that the video has an "uncanny valley" look, and is often hated by end users
Summary
Google called Gemini Omni "the next step" up from Nano Banana and, presumably, its current video generator, Veo 3.1. Where Veo 3.1 was limited to video creations via prompts and images, Gemini Omni will accept a wider range of inputs and do a lot more. For instance, you can shoot a video, then ask Omni to change what's happening. Omni also better understands physical forces like gravity, kinetic energy and fluid dynamics, so that scenes will be more realistic.
