The first model in the family, the Gemini Omni Flash, is on display at the event.

According to Google, unlike text-to-video AI models, Gemini Omni is multi-modal in both input and output. Users can input text, audio, images, and video into the model when creating their content and, using Gemini’s “real world knowledge,” Omni will generate realistic and scientifically accurate content.

Gemini Omni Flash is rolling out today to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers within the Gemini app and Google Flow. Gemini Omni Flash will also be rolling out to YouTube Shortcuts and the YouTube Create app for free to users later this week.

The Gemini Spark is an ambitious product presented at I/O. Google calls Spark “your personal AI agent” and it includes a range of Google products, and eventually more than 30 third-party tools with MCP, such as Adobe, Dropbox, and Uber.

Acting as an AI agent, Spark can combine important emails from your inbox with files from Documents to create an update for your manager.

Notably, Spark runs entirely within the cloud and does not require any hardware.

Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US will see Gemini Spark roll out within Gmail and Chat next week.

Google says it’s rolling out globally to Gemini desktop, Android, and iOS apps.
