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.\n- 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).\n\n### Reliability: Runway API +22\n\n- 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.\n- 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.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Runway API +21\n\n- 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.\n- 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).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +21\n\n- 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.\n- 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.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +19\n\n- 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.\n- 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).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash | Runway API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 67 | Runway API +22 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 69 | 93 | Runway API +24 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 54 | 75 | Runway API +21 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 50 | 51 | Runway API +1 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 30 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 83 | 62 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +21 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 53 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +19 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -3 | |\n| **Total** | | **55.1 · C** | **60.4 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash | Runway API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Google | Runway |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://api.dev.runwayml.com/v1` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Gemini API and Google Cloud under Google's terms.

It is paid only, the guide still describes Omni 1.1, and every quality claim is Google's.\n\n**Runway API.** OpenAPI 3.1, llms.txt and Markdown copies of every docs page. Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 2026-07-30 with no prior notice in the changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash\n\n1. Call POST /v1beta/interactions with model gemini-omni-1.2-flash and response_format type video; Veo is gone from the Gemini API\n2. Set delivery to uri for clips over 4 MB and poll the file until ACTIVE; a later GET returns base64 only\n3. Edit with previous_interaction_id and leave store on, or the clip can't be edited in a later turn\n4. Set length in the prompt with timecodes such as [0-3s]; there is no duration field\n5. Draft at 360p or 720p and upscale only the keepers: 4K costs about nine times 360p\n\n### Runway API\n\n1. Send `X-Runway-Version: 2024-11-06` on every request or it fails\n2. Use the SDK's wait-for-output helper or poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED. Retry 429 and 5xx with exponential backoff and jitter\n3. Don't retry a SAFETY.* failure unchanged. It's moderation, not an outage\n4. Take model IDs from the models page, not memory. Two were removed without notice on 2026-07-30\n5. Copy outputs to your own storage. URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash or Runway API?\n\nRunway API scores 60.4 (C) on agent readiness against Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash's 55.1 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash leads on maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash and Runway API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash and Runway API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. Runway API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.dev.runwayml.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-omni-1-2-flash-vs-runway.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-omni-1-2-flash-vs-runway.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gemini-omni-1-2-flash\", \"b\": \"runway\"}`.
