Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash cuts video output to $12 per million tokens. A 10-second 720p clip falls from $1.01 to $0.70, and Omni 1.1 moves to the new rate on December 3.
Google made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available on November 5. Input and text output cost the same as Omni 1.1. Video output, which is nearly the whole bill for this model, drops from $17.50 to $12 per million tokens, and every 1.1 request moves to the new rate on December 3.

Short answer
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash costs $1.50 per 1M input tokens, $9 per 1M text output tokens and $12 per 1M video output tokens. At 5,792 tokens per second of 720p video that is about $0.070 a second, or $0.70 for a 10-second clip against $1.01 on Omni 1.1. There is no free tier. From December 3, 2026, requests to gemini-omni-1.1-flash are served by 1.2 and billed at these rates.
How much does Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash cost?
From Google's Gemini API pricing page, paid tier, per million tokens, read November 9, 2026:
| Line | Omni 1.2 Flash | Omni 1.1 Flash | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input (text, image, video) | $1.50 | $1.50 | none |
| Text output, incl. thinking | $9.00 | $9.00 | none |
| Video output | $12.00 | $17.50 | -31% |
Google's changelog rounds the cut to 30%; $12 against $17.50 is 31.4%. Neither model has a free tier. Per the model page, both take 131,072 input tokens and return up to 65,536. Omni 1.2 makes clips of 3 to 15 seconds and extends them up to 30 seconds over several turns; Omni 1.1 stops at 10 seconds.
Cost per second and per clip
Video is billed as output tokens at a fixed rate per second, which Google publishes for each resolution. Multiplying out gives the cost of a second of finished video. The prompt barely registers: 500 tokens of text in costs $0.00075.
| Resolution | Tokens per second | Omni 1.2 per second | Omni 1.1 per second |
|---|---|---|---|
| 360p | 1,931 | $0.023 | $0.034 |
| 720p | 5,792 | $0.070 | $0.101 |
| 1080p (upsampled) | 8,688 | $0.104 | $0.152 |
| 4K (upsampled) | 17,376 | $0.209 | $0.304 |
| 720p clip | Omni 1.2 | Omni 1.1 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 seconds | $0.35 | $0.51 |
| 10 seconds | $0.70 | $1.01 |
| 15 seconds | $1.04 | not offered (10s max) |
A product that renders 1,000 ten-second 720p clips a month pays about $695 on 1.2 against $1014 on 1.1. Retries and discarded takes bill the same way, so the per-second rate is the number to budget from, not the per-clip one.
Do you need to change anything before December 3?
Not for the price. Google routes gemini-omni-1.1-flash to 1.2 automatically and bills it at 1.2 rates, so the cut reaches you either way. What changes is the model behind the name: 1.2 is a different model with longer clips and better consistency across reference images. If your pipeline depends on 1.1 output, test 1.2 now rather than finding out on December 3. To switch early, change the model string to gemini-omni-1.2-flash.
