Every element of the claim appears on Google's own channels. Google's blog post introduces Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash as a production-ready update for developers offering improved control over generative video, with scene extension, start and end frame specification, and 4K output, accessible through Google AI Studio or the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

On the draft mode, Google's own wording is: "Generate lightweight previews in 360p resolution up to 60% faster* and at a third of the cost compared to Omni 1.1's standard 720p resolution." Note the asterisk, which points to a footnote qualification on Google's page.

The developer documentation confirms the model identifier and description: Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash) is described as a high-performance multimodal model designed for high-speed video generation, editing, and cinematic control. The changelog records the specific features: interpolation using first and last frames via the image_to_video task with up to two images, and a new resolution parameter in video_config supporting 360p, 720p (default), 1080p, and 4k outputs, with 1080p and 4K outputs generated using upscaling; the existing gemini-omni-flash-preview endpoint is to be deprecated on September 30, 2026.

Google's official X account lists the same feature set and states where it is rolling out. Google says the model is rolling out in Google AI Studio, Flow, and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Consumer-surface availability is broader than the post mentions: Omni 1.1 is available to all Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers globally in Google Flow, and scene extension is available to those subscribers in the Gemini app.

Third-party press adds one qualification the post's headline does not carry. Neowin notes that per Google's Gemini API documentation, both 1080p and 4K are upscaled rather than generated natively, with 720p remaining the default and 360p also available. Another outlet makes the same point directly, noting that 4K is not described as native generation and that the API documentation explicitly labels it as upscaled output.

Pricing, from Google's own pricing page: Gemini Omni Flash charges 1931 tokens per second of 360p video, 5792 tokens per second of 720p, 8688 for 1080p, and 17376 for 4k video outputs with audio. That 1931 versus 5792 ratio is almost exactly one third, which independently corroborates the "one-third the cost" claim from the vendor's own billing table rather than only from its marketing copy.
