Gemini Omni API

Based on industry reports about Gemini Omni, here is what the API will likely support:

Video Generation Generate videos from text prompts or images. Expected endpoints similar to existing Google AI APIs — POST a request with a prompt and optional image, receive a video URL or base64 output.

Chat-Based Editing Conversational editing sessions where you iteratively modify generated videos through natural language. Most current APIs (Runway, Kling) use a single prompt → single output model, so this would be a different approach.

Multimodal Input Combine text, images, and possibly audio in a single API call. The API would accept a multipart request with different content types.

Object Manipulation Select and replace specific objects within generated video frames. This would require the API to support region-based operations.

Based on Google's existing Gemini API patterns, here is what the Omni video generation API might look like:

Python: import google.generativeai as genai

genai.configure(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

model = genai.GenerativeModel("gemini-omni")

response = model.generate_content(
    "A golden retriever running on a beach at sunset, cinematic 4K",
    generation_config={
        "modality": "video",
        "duration_seconds": 5,
        "resolution": "1080p",
    }
)

# response contains a video file URI or bytes video_url = response.candidates[0].content.parts[0].file_uri

Node.js: import { GoogleGenerativeAI } from "@google/generative-ai";

const genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI("YOUR_API_KEY");
const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model: "gemini-omni" });

const result = await model.generateContent({
  contents: [{
    parts: [{
      text: "A golden retriever running on a beach at sunset, cinematic 4K"
    }]
  }],
  generationConfig: {
    modality: "video",
    durationSeconds: 5,
    resolution: "1080p",
  }
});

Note: This is speculative based on current Gemini API patterns. The actual API may differ significantly.

Google has not announced pricing for the Gemini Omni API. Based on pricing for existing Google AI models and competitor pricing:

• Video generation APIs typically charge per second of generated video • Current market rate: $0.02–$0.10 per second of video • Google may offer a free tier with limited monthly generation minutes • Enterprise (Vertex AI) pricing is usually higher than consumer (AI Studio) pricing

We will update this section with exact pricing once Google announces it.

While you wait for the Gemini Omni API, these video generation APIs are available today:

• Kling AI API — Strong physics-based motion, available through Kuaishou's developer platform • Runway Gen-4 API — Popular for cinematic video, available at runwayml.com • Veo API — Google's current video model, available through Google AI Studio
