Google is rolling out Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. According to The Decoder, this update allows for the creation of clips up to 15 seconds, an increase from the 10-second limit of Omni 1.1. The new version also features better reference adherence and costs 30% less. Dev.to notes that Google has not published benchmarks for Omni 1.2, leaving visual quality unclassified.

In other updates, Android Authority reports that Google is introducing actionable insights to Google Forms using Gemini. This feature, available to Google AI Pro and Ultra customers, analyzes form responses to uncover trends, spot patterns, and provide summaries of key takeaways.

Additionally, Ars Technica reports that Google has announced a new AI policy for K–12 schools. Under this policy, schools using Google apps must opt into AI products, which Google considers part of its search portfolio. While some interpretations suggested Google might block search access for schools that reject AI, Ars Technica reports that the company's approach is to allow schools to make decisions based on their internal AI policies.
