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- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (85): Per the 9 October check, not re-read on 4 November (docs.byteplus.com answered robots.txt with its app page). Create returns only a task ID, the task object is small, and `callback_url` posts each status change so an agent need not poll (25). The list call pages with `page_num` and `page_size` up to 500 and filters by status, task ID, model and service tier, and `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` size the output (20). Error codes come with a meaning and a suggested fix. On Seedance 2.5 some constraint errors arrive only after the task leaves the queue unless `omni_reference_task_type` is set (17). No idempotency key was found. Only successful videos are charged, a queued task can be cancelled with DELETE and a running one cannot (8). Only `model` and `content` are required, and official SDKs exist for Python, Go and Java (15).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk +29\n\n- Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash (50): 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. Keys bound to a service account and restricted to the Gemini API, with no scopes and a token accepted in the URL (15 of 30, the platform's deduction). The pricing page, read on 11 November, lists no free tier for Omni 1.2 Flash, and paid-tier content isn't used to improve Google's products (15 of 20). Retention of generated videos isn't stated in the guide (5 of 15). Request logs described for Generate Content, not confirmed for Interactions video calls (10 of 15). security.txt and a reward programme, no certification naming the API (5 of 20). Outputs carry a SynthID watermark, and uploads of minors and some recognisable people are refused in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. 15 + 15 + 5 + 10 + 5 = 50.\n- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (79): Per the 9 October check for the docs pages, not re-read on 4 November. Model reading of the checklist (credential, training, retention, operator visibility, programme). API keys belong to a resource project, can be limited to named model IDs or endpoints and to an IP allowlist, and can be disabled or deleted. No expiry or rotation setting was found (28). The service terms say BytePlus will not use customer data to train models unless the customer opts in, and the data processing page and training FAQ agree (20). Task records last 7 days and video URLs 24 hours, DELETE removes a finished task record, and content that triggers the filter is kept 180 days. No general retention period for inputs was found (10). Keys show a last-used time and billing per key, and the console has usage statistics. The inference security audit page says it applies only to Skylark models (8). The trust centre lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 and other certifications for BytePlus as a whole, and the Go SDK repository's SECURITY.md points to the ByteDance security centre and a bounty policy. No security.txt, and no disclosure policy on byteplus.com itself. The Go SDK's SECURITY.md was re-read in a clone on 4 November, and OSV holds no advisory for the Go, Python or Java packages (13).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +18\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- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (65): Model reading. The last dated change that touches Seedance is the 8 September 2026 deprecation notice for `seedance-1-5-pro-251215`, 57 days before this check; Dreamina Seedance 2.5 shows \"Updated Aug 7, 2026\" in the ai.byteplus.com model catalogue on 4 November, with no newer Seedance model. The Go SDK tagged v0.10.0 to v0.19.0 between 29 September and 3 November, but none of them changes its content-generation package, last changed on 26 August, so they don't set recency for this listing (as groq-speech-to-text's SDK releases that don't touch audio). The create-task reference's 8 October page date records no change. 20, in place of 30 (cause time and correction). The deprecation policy promises at least 30 calendar days' notice. `seedance-1-5-pro-251215` got 64 days, from 8 September to 11 November 2026, after about 11 months on sale and with no automatic migration, and a Seedance 1.0 lite model went in the May 2026 batch. The minimum is short (12 of 20). Monthly product updates, model release and deprecation pages, with support by console ticket and a Discord server we did not test, per the 9 October check (11 of 15). Current official SDKs for Python, Go and Java (15). The Go SDK is Apache-2.0 with a CI workflow and 19 tags since its 11 August import, the latest v0.19.0 on 3 November 2026. It is below 1.0 and replaced an older SDK that the docs still need for some APIs (7). 20+12+11+15+7 = 65.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +8\n\n- 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.\n- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (61): Per the 9 October check, not re-read on 4 November (docs.byteplus.com answered robots.txt with its app page). No OpenAPI or similar file was found. The reference pages link an API Explorer that is drawn by script, which we could not read (0). www.byteplus.com/llms.txt is a short site index, and docs.byteplus.com has no llms.txt or published Markdown twin (3). The create-task reference states which models accept each field, which input modes cannot be mixed, and when to use `frames` over `duration` or set `omni_reference_task_type` (17). Fields carry types, ranges, defaults and per-model values. `content` is a mixed array of text, image, video, audio and draft items, and a legacy mode reads parameters from the prompt text (13). cURL, Python and Java examples in the tutorial, and an error page of about 120 rows with HTTP status, code, message and meaning (15). A versioned `/api/v3` path, dated model IDs, and pages for product updates, model releases, deprecations and an API schema notice. Product updates are dated by month only and stop at August 2026 (13).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +7\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- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (65): Per the 9 October check, not re-read on 4 November (docs.byteplus.com answered robots.txt with its app page). Closed models under the Customer Agreement (effective 30 September 2026) and the Service Specific Terms, which are public and dated. The Go SDK is Apache-2.0. Two cited documents, the General Terms for AI Services and the ModelArk Terms, returned no text to our reader (15). The service terms, the ModelArk data processing page and the training FAQ agree that customer data is not used for training without opt-in. Filter-triggered content is kept 180 days, and no general retention period for inputs is stated. A Data Processing Addendum is incorporated, which we did not open (20). A deprecation policy with a 30 day minimum and dated timetables for each batch (18). Processing locations are named as Malaysia, Indonesia and the EU/EEA, and a sub-processor list effective 24 September 2026 promises 15 days' notice of changes, but it has no ModelArk row (14).\n\n### Reliability: Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +5\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- Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk (40): No status page was found on the site footer, the docs, the trust centre or llms.txt, per the 9 October check, and none is linked from www.byteplus.com/llms.txt or ai.byteplus.com/llms.txt on 4 November (0). With no history to read, the incident line takes the checklist's 5 for no readable record, as Seedream on ModelArk does, in place of the 0 given on 9 October (5). docs.byteplus.com answered its robots.txt request with its HTML app page on 4 November, so no docs page was requested and the docs readings are per the 9 October check, not re-read on 4 November. Rate limits are published per model, 600 task creations a minute and 10 concurrent tasks for enterprise accounts on Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, 180 and 3 for individuals, 15 and 1 at 4K, plus per-second limits on retrieve, list and delete. BytePlus calls them theoretical maximums that are not guaranteed (15). The error list has 18 entries under 429 and a burst traffic guide recommends exponential backoff. The Go SDK retries and reads a retry-after value, but the docs name no Retry-After header, no idempotency key and no safe way to retry a task creation; failed generations are not charged. This run gives backoff guidance without safe-retry guidance on writes 10, in place of 11 (10). An SLA exists for the BytePlus MLP Service at 99.5 per cent a month. It does not name ModelArk, so it is not counted (0). Seedance 2.5 is described as fully available with no preview label (10). 0+5+15+10+0+10 = 40.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash | Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 45 | 40 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +5 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 69 | 61 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +8 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 54 | 85 | Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk +31 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 50 | 79 | Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk +29 |\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 | 65 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +18 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 65 | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash +7 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **55.1 · C** | **60.7 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash | Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model API |\n| Vendor | Google | BytePlus (ByteDance) |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/v3` |\n| Transports | HTTP | 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**Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk.** The video task API documents limits, error codes and per-model parameters in detail, with callbacks, a filterable task list and API keys restrictable by model and IP address. No status page, OpenAPI file or free video quota was found, the newest models need a USD 30 balance, and BytePlus model services are not sold in the United States.\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### Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk\n\n1. POST to `/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks` on ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com, then poll GET `/contents/generations/tasks/{id}` or pass `callback_url`. Callbacks need an answer within 5 seconds\n2. Download the result at once. Video URLs last 24 hours, task records 7 days, and a Seedance 2.5 URL allows 100 downloads\n3. Pass `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` in the request body. Parameters appended to the prompt as `--rs` or `--dur` are weakly validated and may be ignored\n4. On Seedance 2.5 set `omni_reference_task_type` to `edit` or `extend` so constraint errors arrive at submission. With `auto` they arrive after the task leaves the queue\n5. Do not send reference images or video with real human faces to Seedance 2.5 or 2.0. Only a queued task can be cancelled with DELETE\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash or Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk?\n\nSeedance on BytePlus ModelArk scores 60.7 (C) on agent readiness against Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash's 55.1 (C), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories.
