Google's Gemini Omni AI video tool surfaces in early demos ahead of I/O 2026 launch

Gemini 'Omni' video model shows up with some early demos

A new video generation model is apparently coming to Gemini, with "Omni" producing some pretty impressive inital results. Video generation is perhaps one the most impressive, but also most polarizing aspects of generative AI. Google has built out Veo as its video generation model for a while now, but seems to have something new in the pipeline. At least one Gemini user was prompted to "Create with Gemini Omni," which Google describes as follows: Meet our new video generation model. Remix your videos, edit directly in chat, try a template, and more. How "Omni" fits into the broader context of Gemini and Veo isn't entirely clear at the moment, but metadata suggests "Omni" is an extension of Veo. But, regardless of that, the output here looks pretty impressive. One demo used input of "a professor writes out a mathematical proof for trigonometric identities on a traditional chalkboard, explaining the step he is currently on in the equation," and while there are still some obvious tells in the final output, the video does a great job of handling the text while putting out a fairly realistic video. Meanwhile, a second prompt asked for a scene of two men eating spaghetti - in reference to the Will Smith test - again with fairly realistic results. It's nothing entirely groundbreaking, but the output is quite good. The prompt here was: "Can you create a scene with two men at a table seaside at an upscale restaurant on outdoor deck seating. They are at a circular table with a nice white table cloth, and all of the fancy accessories, all the spoons forks and knives, fancy napkins, centerpiece. One man is Distinguished: A mature African-American man in his 50s with a short beard and confident posture, wearing a tailored, sophisticated suit, the other is is friend, both approaching the table to eat a plate of spaghetti. In the beginning the men approach the table, exchange brief niceties, and begin to eat the spaghetti calmly In between bites sharing conversation." A "usage" tab also showed up for this user, with these two prompts taking up 86% of daily usage on an AI Pro plan (though the user did say some usage on Gemini Flash during the same day). We recently spotted Google's intention to add more explicit usage limits. Google hasn't announced Gemini "Omni" yet, but previously said that "video's here to stay" in commitment to the technology following the announcement that OpenAI would kill off video generation through its Sora model earlier this year. With I/O 2026 right around the corner, that's probably where we'll hear more about Google's plans for Gemini and video generation.

Gemini Omni leak reveals Google's next AI video tool ahead of I/O 2026

The feature may debut around Google I/O 2026, where Gemini and AI are expected to take center stage. Google may soon expand Gemini AI capabilities by introducing a new video generation system, reportedly called Omni. While the company has not officially announced the feature yet, early previews shared by some users suggest that Google is testing advanced AI-powered video creation directly inside Gemini. As per the reports, select Gemini users recently started seeing a Create with Gemini Omni option within the chatbot. The feature is described as a new video generation model capable of creating, editing and remixing videos via simple chat prompts. The users may also be able to use templates and modify videos directly inside the Gemini interface. It must be noted that Google has clarified how Omni fits alongside its existing Veo video generation technology; metadata reportedly indicates that the new system can be built on top of Veo. Early demo clips shared online suggest that the quality of generated videos is improving, specifically in handling realistic movement, facial expressions and text rendering. One example showcased a classroom-style scene featuring a professor solving trigonometry equations on a chalkboard while explaining the proof step by step. Another prompt created a cinematic restaurant scene involving two men eating spaghetti at a seaside dining setup. However, some AI generated imperfections were still visible but overall, the result looked more polished. The report also suggested that Gemini Omni may include daily usage limits depending on subscription plans. One user claimed that generating two detailed videos consumed a major portion of their daily AI Pro plans. Google has recently been exploring clearer usage tracking and restrictions for Gemini's advanced AI tools. This comes ahead of Google IO 2026, where the company is said to heavily focus on Gemini and AI. Google previously hinted that video creation would remain a major long-term focus for Gemini, especially after increasing competition in the generative AI space.
