Gemini Omni (and Omni Flash): A groundbreaking new series from Google that serves as a comprehensive “world model,” crafted to comprehend and replicate the physical world. It supports multi-modal inputs—integrating text, audio, images, and video—and produces highly realistic, physics-based videos. This enables users to create content or edit their videos conversationally by altering elements like lighting and perspective while maintaining character consistency. (Image: AI generated)
Gemini 3.5 Flash: The inaugural model in Google’s new 3.5 series, specifically designed for agentic workflows, extended tasks, and coding. It operates at quadruple the speed of comparable frontier models, outperforming Gemini 3.1 Pro across key benchmarks while being more cost-effective, and is available for general use starting today.
