Breaking changes: • The existing (pre-GA) Gemini Omni endpoint will be deprecated on September 30, 2026. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-27-2026 https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-27-2026 Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Gemini Omni Flash GA: video extension, frame interpolation, and 4K resolution control via `gemini-omni-1.1-flash` • Releases `gemini-omni-1.1-flash`, the GA fast conversational video generation and editing model. • Adds video extension capability: generate continuations at the end of an existing clip using the `extend` task or a direct prompt. • Adds frame interpolation via the `image_to_video` task with up to 2 images, generating a video that transitions between a first and last frame. • Adds a `resolution` parameter in `video_config` supporting `360p`, `720p` (default), `1080p`, and `4k` outputs (1080p and 4K use upscaling). Breaking changes: • The `gemini-omni-flash-preview` endpoint will be deprecated on September 30, 2026; callers must migrate to `gemini-omni-1.1-flash`. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-26-2026 https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-26-2026 Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Gemini 3.5 Transcribe GA: two dedicated speech-to-text models with diarization, streaming, and 85+ language support • Adds `gemini-3.5-transcribe` model: high-accuracy, non-streaming speech-to-text with utterance-based language detection across 85+ languages, speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and custom vocabulary biasing of up to 1,000 terms. • Adds `gemini-3.5-transcribe-live` model: low-latency, bidirectional streaming speech-to-text over WebSockets via the Live API, with interim and finalized transcription events, Smart transcription mode, and configurable Voice Activity Detection (VAD) strategies. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-13-2026 https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#08-13-2026 Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Gemini 3.7 Flash (`gemini-3.7-flash`) is now GA, targeting coding, web dev, and agentic workflows. • Adds `gemini-3.7-flash` as a generally available model with improvements across software engineering, web development, and agentic workflows, available at an introductory price through December 31, 2026. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#07-30-2026 https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/changelog#07-30-2026 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Gemini Robotics ER 2 enters public preview with two new model endpoints for spatial reasoning and real-time robot streaming. • Adds `gemini-robotics-er-2-preview` endpoint supporting advanced spatial reasoning, agentic code execution, multi-step tool orchestration, video moment finding, progress classification, and multi-robot coordination. • Adds `gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview` endpoint optimized for real-time text streaming via the Live API, enabling low-latency robot agents with bidirectional audio and video input. • Both `gemini-robotics-er-2-preview` and `gemini-robotics-er-2-streaming-preview` accept text, image, video, and audio inputs and support function calling with blocking behavior for physical robot actions.
