Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 vs Gemini Omni Flash
Both versions ran the same nine prompts on fal: the original Gemini Omni Flash on 9 September 2026 and version 1.1, through its own v1.1 endpoints, on 22 October. Five seconds, 16:9, audio on (neither version can turn it off).

Which to use
Use 1.1. It is cheaper on fal at 720p, $0.10 a second against $0.13, adds a 360p draft tier at $0.03 and 1080p and 4K output, and on our prompts it was at least as good: both title lines spelled, a two-handed pour into a blooming paper filter, a dense market with the dog and the busker, and a woodblock storm with visible wood grain. Its waits, 31 to 60 seconds, are in line with version 1's 36 to 64. What did not change is the product habit: on the same handleless dripper photo, both versions grew a handle and filled it with coffee like a mug, and 1.1 added a handle to the turntable dripper too. Both also dropped a lightning strike into the woodblock storm. The original keeps a reference-to-video endpoint on fal that 1.1 does not list. One run per prompt is a first look, not a ranking.

Person speaking
Every model on this prompt →›What we asked for
A woman in her 40s with short grey hair stands in a bright kitchen, looks at the camera and says 'Good morning, the coffee is ready', natural window light, handheld feel, she smiles at the end.
Animated title card
Every model on this prompt →›What we asked for
A title card reading 'MODA SUMMER SESSIONS' animates in over slow-motion footage of a festival crowd at dusk, then a smaller line 'Friday 12 June' fades in beneath it. Bold condensed type, tangerine on navy.
Camera move
Every model on this prompt →›What we asked for
Drone shot pushing slowly forward over a coastal town at sunrise, terracotta roofs, fishing boats in the harbour, long shadows, cinematic and steady.
Physics
Every model on this prompt →1.1's water pools convincingly, but its three ice cubes become six by the end.
›What we asked for
A glass of water tips over on a wooden table and spills in slow motion, water and three ice cubes sliding across the wood, macro lens, morning light.
Hands at work
Every model on this prompt →›What we asked for
Close-up of hands pouring hot water from a gooseneck kettle in slow circles into a pour-over coffee dripper, steam rising, shallow depth of field, warm cafe light.
Busy scene
Every model on this prompt →›What we asked for
A crowded Saturday farmers market seen from slightly above, shoppers with tote bags, a dog on a leash, a busker with a guitar, bunting swaying, late morning light, gentle camera drift.
Specific art style
Every model on this prompt →Both put an unrequested lightning strike into the woodblock storm. 1.1 adds visible wood grain to the sky.
›What we asked for
A lighthouse on a rocky cliff in a storm, in the style of a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, waves crashing in flat colour with visible wood grain, animated like moving paper cutouts.
Image to video
Every model on this prompt →Same miss in both versions: the handleless dripper grows a handle and fills with coffee like a cup.
›What we asked for
The coffee dripper slowly fills as coffee drips through it, steam rising, the camera drifting gently around it, the dripper itself unchanged.
