brief overview
Google may be rolling out updates to Gemini’s Veo image generation tool.
A new model called Omni seems to offer better results and may be announced at Google I/O.
Google may be looking to enhance its AI-powered video production with the introduction of Gemini Omni. The new service is considered an extension of the existing Veo service, and access will be part of Google’s paid AI Pro plan.
The new model is expected to be called the Gemini Omni, but leaked details suggest it’s an expanded version of the Veo. Max Weinbach shares metadata labeled “VEO_MODE_OMNI”.
It appears some Gemini users had early access, as shared by 9to5Google via Reddit, but the users sharing these details say it has been revoked and Gemini has reverted to the old Veo experience.
In the first example, a pop-up invitation suggested “Create with Gemini Omni,” followed by “Introducing a new video model. Remix your videos, edit directly in chat, try out templates, and more.”
Some of the results shared are also impressive, with photo-realistic depictions that show this AI experience is learning things like text, and the people and their movements also look realistic, if a little too perfect.

While there are some great results from what we’ve seen so far, it’s still a bit artificial and represents progress towards more reliable AI video models – if that’s actually what you want.
Some parts of Omni appear to have usage limits determined by the AI plan you subscribe to. This will allow power users to create more videos, but will likely still be accessible to users on the lower end of the spectrum.
This leak comes on the eve of Google’s big announcement through Google I/O, where a full announcement is expected detailing the details of Gemini’s progress, and Omni is likely to be a part of it.
We’re also looking forward to the latest updates on Android, with Android 17 expected to be announced via Android Show later today. It looks like video creation will play a big role in Google’s AI future. After all, “omni” means “everywhere.”
