What happened
Google DeepMind introduced Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, a production-ready video model update for developers. It can extend scenes using up to 10 seconds of context, generate transitions between specified first and last frames, produce 360p previews up to 60% faster at one-third the cost of 720p, and upscale outputs to 4K. The model is rolling out through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Why it matters
- Scene extension carries a clip forward in 10-second increments up to a cumulative 40 seconds, giving video tools more room for longer narratives.
- First-and-last-frame controls target a hard part of generative video: maintaining continuity through camera moves and transitions.
- Cheaper 360p previews let teams test more variations before spending on higher-resolution renders.
