Google has announced the launch of its latest AI models, Gemini 3.5 and Gemini Omni, at the I/O conference. The new models are set to revolutionise how users interact with AI.
The first model to be rolled out from the Gemini 3.5 family is Gemini 3.5 Flash. It is already available to everyone via the Gemini app and in AI Mode in Google Search. Google describes this model as delivering “intelligence that rivals large flagship models on multiple dimensions, at the speeds you have come to expect from the Flash series.” Gemini 3.5 Flash is particularly strong in agentic and coding tasks, outperforming even Gemini 3.1 Pro on challenging benchmarks, and excelling in multimodal understanding. It is now the default model.
Gemini Omni is a groundbreaking model that can create videos from any input. Users can combine images, audio, video, and text as input, and it will generate high-quality videos “grounded in Gemini’s real-world knowledge.” Once a video is created, it can also be easily edited through conversation.
The first model in the Gemini Omni family is Gemini Omni Flash. This model allows users to change specific elements of a video or everything at once, and refine creations across multiple turns without losing the original scene. It has “an improved intuitive understanding of forces like gravity, kinetic energy and fluid dynamics,” enabling it to create more realistic scenes. With Omni, users can also utilise their own voice and Avatars, which create a digital version of themselves. All videos include SynthID digital watermarking.
Gemini Omni Flash is available today for all subscribers to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra plans globally in the Gemini app and in Google Flow. It is also rolling out for free to users on YouTube Shorts and YouTube Create.
