Google releases Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: video up to 15 seconds and 30% cheaper
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash makes videos up to 15 seconds long, where Omni was 1.1 10 seconds, and you can update the clip in multiple steps. Google says the price is 30% lower, at $0.07 per second for 720p video. The model is available in the Gemini API and Vertex AI, in Google Vids and Flow, and comes to the Gemini app first for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
What does this mean? If you make short videos for social media or advertising, you can now create clips of up to 15 seconds in Google Vids at no extra cost on top of your Workspace subscription.
OpenAI does not go ahead with the reduction of ChatGPT Pro 200
Pro 200 was set to receive less usage allowance from 30 October, but according to AI Wereld OpenAI has withdrawn that: anyone with the higher bundle keeps it, and all Pro 200 subscribers get the higher limit. The faster Ultrafast mode remains reserved for Pro 500 and counts eight times as heavily. From December, Plus, Pro and Business share one usage pool for ChatGPT and Codex.
What does this mean? If you have Pro 200, you don't need to switch to keep your limit; but do watch how the shared budget with Codex works out in December.
