"So we could edit this set?" Done and done. New Training Data with @OfficialLoganK of @GoogleDeepMind and @sonyatweetybird shows some of what Gemini Omni can do.

Semi-legendary story: Some Googler was chilling in what he thought was a conference room named “Vint Cerf,” only to have the real man walk in and politely shoo him out of what was actually his office. 👀

Exciting news: Gemini Omni Flash is now #1 in the Video Arena (both Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video)! For Text-to-Video this is a massive 158 pt improvement over Veo 3.1 (1080p) and a large 61 pt lead over the next best model, Seedance 2.0. Congrats @GoogleDeepMind for this huge milestone!
We’re dropping Gemini Omni: our first step towards a model that can create anything from anything - starting with video. It combines Gemini’s intelligence with our generative media systems - representing a leap forward in world understanding, multimodality, and editing 🧵

MAN ON FIRE (2004) Tony Scott utilized an old hand-cranked film camera built in 1910 to make movie magic. No CGI needed. DP Paul Cameron built a "merry-go-round" rig that spun Denzel Washington and the camera 360 degrees to create a hyper-kinetic visual effect.

Sending mail to @googlecloud devs wanting to use Omni, I'm reminded of when we launched Adobe Firefly & the server flooded. I don't mean that figuratively: I mean we had exactly one email server, and it physically flooded. 😅

We made scanning multiple documents super easy with the new Document Scanner in @googledrive . Flip through the pages of a book or lay your receipts out on a table and our Document Scanner will identify, separate, and capture each page within the camera view. Scanner detects duplicates to prevent accidental re-scans automatically. Implemented with On-Device Processing - which means, its lightning-fast and works offline. Available to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts

Instead of buying my wife the $800 (!!) Lego Sagrada Familia, which doesn't ship until November, I can just use @NanoBanana to Photoshop her into the photoshoot. 😌

It’s insane what magic we can now take for granted. Insane! 🐬

Replying to @Google
Beyond just rendering text, Gemini Omni actively syncs your text with the onscreen action. It draws on Gemini's knowledge to connect language, imagery and meaning to turn complex ideas into compelling visuals. 💬 Prompt for this video: Add the word “SMILE” in bold white sans-serif typography across the nose of every inflatable shark, clean modern lettering naturally integrated into the glossy wet plastic surface, slightly curved and distorted by the inflatable shape while remaining crisp and readable during movement through the water slide. The text on the sharks must remain perfectly locked and tracked to each shark’s skin surface at all times, moving consistently with the body and rotating naturally with the sharks during the descent. Avoid flickering, sliding, jittering, duplicated characters, changing letter count, or distorted typography. Any existing text must remain stable, readable, and physically integrated into the shark skin texture, behaving like a natural marking rather than an added overlay. No text should appear or disappear mid-descent.

Google Omni can recognize objects from an image, not sure how exactly does it but this is not simply a video model. Input is an image (for each group of objects), asking Google Omni to analyze what are the objects and create a short video about them (so one image of the cars without information about their make/model). Again: this model has to be treated more like Nano Banana and not like Veo.

Exactly six months ago, my wife was recovering from scary surgery for sudden-onset turbo cancer 👀, and I was out of work for the first time since the 90s. Now she’s doing great 🎉, and I am delivering Magic as a Service™ at Google. I cannot overstate my insane gratitude. 🙏

Back in 2000, right after I joined Adobe, we hired Run-DMC to play our party (because *take that*, Macromedia—our big rival, which we later bought 😎). It was the one time I got to control the velvet rope. Managing Gemini Omni API access, I feel like that again. 😌

Working around the clock to put Gemini Omni into developers' hands, I am tired but happy. Also, my blood type is Red Bull. 😅
