Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash vs Runway API

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash 69

Model reading for gemini-omni-1.2-flash on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Called through the Interactions API, which the platform's Discovery document doesn't type; the SDK's generated Interactions types list the model (10 of 25). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The Omni guide, read on 11 November, covers Omni 1.1 Flash on the same API and lists what isn't supported (system instructions, temperature, negative prompts, audio references, YouTube sources) and the regional limits; it doesn't name 1.2 (16 of 20). Aspect ratio (16:9 or 9:16), resolution (360p, 720p, 1080p, 4k) and delivery are enumerated; length is set in the prompt, not a field (10 of 15). REST and SDK examples; a failed generation sets the file state to FAILED, and other error codes aren't documented beyond the platform's page (8 of 15). Dated SDK and platform changelogs (15). 10 + 10 + 16 + 10 + 8 + 15 = 69.

Runway API 93

OpenAPI 3.1 at docs.dev.runwayml.com/openapi.json (25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a Markdown copy of every page (10). Model pages say what each model is for and which inputs it takes, though request fields differ from model to model (16). Typed fields with fixed ratios and duration ranges per model (13). Examples in curl, Node and Python, and failure codes such as SAFETY.* documented with what they mean (14). A dated X-Runway-Version header and a dated changelog with 23 entries between July and September 2026 (15).

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash 45

Model reading for gemini-omni-1.2-flash on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Status page at aistudio.google.com/status with no readable components or history (10 of 20) and no readable incident record (5 of 30). Platform rate-limit tiers; the public rate-limit page has no Omni 1.2 row (5 of 15). Backoff guidance for 429 and 503 and SDK retries (15). No SLA read for the Gemini API route, and the Omni guide says provisioned throughput isn't supported there; Google's post puts it on Google Cloud (0). Google's post of 5 November says generally available, and the SDK commit marks the model GA (10). 10 + 5 + 5 + 15 + 0 + 10 = 45.

Runway API 67

Atlassian Statuspage at status.runwayml.com with a Public API component and history pages back to June 2026 (20). From 5 August to 3 November the history lists 11 incidents. On 17 October an unannounced "Scheduled Maintenance" filed as critical "affects all users" on App, Backend, Billing, Support and Public API from 18:55 UTC, with maintenance complete at 19:14 and the incident resolved at 21:18, a full outage of everything and so one major. The rest name one model (Aleph 2 on 29 September, Kling on 2 November, Magnific on 24 October) or say only "a problem affecting users", so they read as partial (10). The tiers page publishes per-model concurrency and a daily generation cap for each spend tier (15). Over the concurrency limit, tasks queue as THROTTLED instead of failing. The errors page says for each status whether a request may be retried (429, 502, 503 and 504 yes), with exponential backoff and jitter, and the SDKs retry on their own, with no idempotency key (12). No SLA published for self-serve tiers (0). The API and its models are generally available (10). 20+10+15+12+0+10 = 67.

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash 54

Read on the lines the Veo listing used for video models. Model reading for gemini-omni-1.2-flash on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Per the Omni guide (written for 1.1 on the same API), the video comes back in the response, inline as base64 or as a Google-hosted file to poll until ACTIVE with delivery uri for outputs over 4 MB (12 of 15). No callback (0 of 10). Resolution, aspect ratio and delivery control output size, and edits run turn by turn through previous_interaction_id without regenerating from scratch (10). No list of past jobs found (0 of 10). Standard Google error statuses on the platform, with FAILED as the only Omni-specific state (12 of 14). No idempotency key, and whether failed generations are billed isn't stated (5 of 20). Only model and input are required, with 720p and 16:9 as defaults, and SDKs in five languages plus the CLI (15). 12 + 0 + 10 + 0 + 12 + 5 + 15 = 54.

Runway API 75

Tasks are small JSON objects with output URLs, and the official SDKs include a wait-for-output helper, so an agent needn't write a polling loop (25). Ratio, duration and model choice set output size. No task list endpoint found (10). Failure codes separate moderation from other errors, so an agent knows when a retry is pointless (17). No idempotency key. The docs say not to retry SAFETY failures unchanged (10). Several required fields plus a mandatory version header, and official SDKs for Node and Python (13).

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash 83

Model reading for gemini-omni-1.2-flash on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Released and generally available on 5 November 2026; the SDKs added it to the Interactions model list on 10 November (30). Deprecations with earliest dates and no stated minimum notice (4 of 12). Churn in Google's video line: every Veo model on the Gemini API shut down by 22 October, and from 3 December 2026 requests to Omni 1.1 Flash are routed to 1.2 Flash and billed at its rates, four weeks after this release (4 of 8). Dated SDK and platform changelogs (15). SDK replies not sampled (5 of 10). Current SDKs in five languages (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 4 + 4 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 83.

Runway API 62

Model reading. Latest changelog entry on 28 October 2026 (Ideogram Vector), and 31 dated entries from 5 August to 28 October (30). Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 30 July 2026 with no earlier notice in the public changelog, and no later retirement notice was found (0). Busy dated changelog and a support desk (12). Official SDKs on npm and PyPI, Node 4.24.0 and Python 5.24.0 on 23 October 2026 (15). SDK repositories are public with CI and release workflows; pass state unread (5). 30+0+12+15+5 = 62.

Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash 72

Model reading for gemini-omni-1.2-flash on the Gemini API. Platform facts are the Gemini API listing's (gemini-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Closed service with clear terms, SDKs Apache-2.0 (15). Paid only, so content isn't used to improve products; video retention isn't stated (20 of 30). Deprecations table and a dated routing notice for Omni 1.1 Flash (15 of 20). Data may be processed anywhere Google has facilities on the Gemini API route; no subprocessor list checked (5 of 20). SynthID watermarking is disclosed, and Google names the cases it still handles poorly. 15 + 20 + 15 + 5 = 55.

Runway API 53

Closed models under Runway's terms of use, SDKs Apache 2.0. We didn't read the terms for output rights in this run (8). The data-security page describes a retention framework and deletion on request but gives no periods and no training statement (5). The changelog dates removals, but the July removals came without advance notice (5). A customer subprocessor list is published. Data centres aren't named by country (10).
