Google has released Gemini Omni 1.2 , the latest version of its AI model. 'Natively multimodal' means the model was designed from the ground up to process and generate multiple data types—text, images, audio, video—simultaneously, rather than combining separate single-modality models. The 'Flash' designation typically indicates a faster, more efficient variant optimized for lower latency and cost, often at some trade-off in capability compared to larger models.
The claim is drawn directly from a Google Blog post, an official primary source. As a corporate announcement, it is authoritative about the product release itself, though independent benchmarks will be needed to verify any performance claims.
This is genuinely new, with no recirculation year indicated; the blog post appears to be a current release.
We covered the initial release of Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash in August 2026 (both Aug 29 and Aug 30). This 1.2 version is an update to that same model line.
