  "summary": "Artificial Analysis reports that Inkling 2 Small matches Gemini 3.8 Flash (high) in its index. According to Techmeme, Inkling 2 Small is launching as a proprietary model available through the Thinking Machines Tinker platform and Tinker Playground, and is expected to be the top open model outside China once its weights are released.\n\nGoogle has also announced Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, a video generation model that supports native creation of clips up to 15 seconds long. Google DeepMind and Google AI Blog state that the update provides improved reference adherence, multi-turn conversational editing, and better visual consistency. The new model is 30% cheaper than Gemini Omni 1.1, with a price of $0.07 per second for 720p video.\n\nUsers can access these capabilities through the Gemini API, Google Vids, and Gemini for business. Android Authority notes that while Google AI Ultra subscribers can use the model through the Gemini app, free users may access some capabilities through Flow and Google Vids. The workflow allows users to draft at 360p or 720p and subsequently upscale creations to 1080p or 4K.",
