Verdict
When to choose each
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Where it leads
- Lower price per video second at 720p, $0.07 vs $0.10
- Also outputs audio and text
Best for
- Short clips with sound and consistent characters that need conversational edits
Watch out for
- Arena's ratings rest on 2,745 votes or fewer per board so far, far fewer than older video models
- 1080p and 4K come from upsampling, and first-and-last-frame interpolation is limited to 3 to 10 seconds
- Paid tier only: there is no free-tier access in the Gemini API
Wan 3.0 Video
Where it leads
- Also priced for 480p and 1080p output
- Accepts audio input
Best for
- Long single-shot clips
- Reference-driven video mixing images, video and audio
Watch out for
- Alibaba labels it a preview
- Billing counts input video seconds as well as output, so reference clips add cost
- The independent leaderboards list a Wan 3.0 with a later date than this API model, so no score is matched to it
