Gemini Omni Video Model Surfaces Ahead of Google I/O 2026
Google DeepMind
On May 11, 2026, a new model card labeled 'Omni' surfaced within the Gemini app UI, described as a video model that supports in-chat editing, video remixing, and template generation. Early demo outputs showed strong text rendering in video and complex scene composition; metadata suggests Omni is an extension of Google's Veo line. The model had not been officially announced, with Google I/O 2026 (May 19–20) expected as the formal unveil.
Why it matters
If confirmed at I/O, Gemini Omni would be Google's first unified video generation and editing model integrated directly into the Gemini chat interface, potentially bringing video generation to all Google AI plan subscribers.
