   Google launches Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash for faster AI images and video

   Google released two new AI models—Nano Banana 2 Lite for fast image generation at $0.034 per image in four seconds, and Gemini Omni Flash for video generation and editing via API at $0.10 per second of output. Both are now available to developers through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. Nano Banana 2 Lite replaces Google's older image model and offers a lower-cost, faster option for developers who prioritize speed over quality. Gemini Omni Flash opens video generation to the API for the first time, allowing developers to combine text, images, and video in a single workflow—and Google recommends chaining both models together to quickly generate images and animate them into video.

   Gemini Omni Flash currently generates only ten-second clips, and audio references and scene extensions are not yet supported in the API. Character consistency across scene changes remains limited. Both models apply SynthID watermarks to tag AI-generated content, with verification available through the Gemini app, Gemini in Chrome, and Google Search.

   Google's Gemini Omni Flash now available via API for enterprise video editing

   Google is rolling out Gemini Omni Flash, the first model in its new Omni family, to developers and enterprise customers through an API. The model allows users to edit finished video clips through conversation, rather than just generating video from text prompts. Enterprise video production has traditionally required careful planning, film crews or outside vendors, shooting, editing, and revisions—a costly and time-consuming chain. By enabling conversational video editing through an API, Google is addressing the reason much internal video never gets made, potentially lowering barriers for businesses to produce training videos and product explainers.

   The API rollout follows the model's consumer debut at Google I/O 2026 in May. The availability of a programmatic interface marks a shift from the consumer-only access noted at launch, making the tool accessible to enterprise developers.

   Google DeepMind invests $75M in A24, signaling shift from video tools to content

   Google DeepMind invested $75 million（約120億円） in indie film studio A24 this week, with the two companies partnering to develop AI tools for filmmakers. Investment in AI video and media tech startups has more than tripled over the past five years, reaching $5.6 billion（約9000億円） this year, up over 43% from 2025's annual total. The market is shifting beyond competition over video-generation technology itself. Video generation is becoming easier to build, with new models from China rivaling US and European products, and incumbents developing their own AI capabilities. This means the real value may now lie in content creation and end products, not just the software layer—a change that opens opportunities for creative studios alongside tech companies.

   VCs are beginning to fund AI-native or AI-powered studios. Promise has raised funding from backers including Andreessen Horowitz and Google's AI Futures Fund, and London-based Wonder raised $12 million（約19億円） from investors including Atomico and LocalGlobe.
