google/gemini-omni-flash-r2v
[Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash R2V (Reference-to-Video) generates a short 720p video guided by up to three reference images via the Interactions API. [Strengths] It fuses the styles, subjects, or elements from multiple reference images (referred to in the text prompt) into a single coherent animated clip with synchronized audio. [Best For] Highly recommended for: blending characters or visual styles from several images, reference-guided creative shots, and multi-subject compositions where the prompt directs how the references combine. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you only have a single starting frame (use I2V instead), or if you need 1080p or 4K or clips longer than 10 seconds; it accepts 1 to 3 reference images and outputs 720p up to 10 seconds (16:9 or 9:16). [Routing] Choose this when the user supplies multiple reference images to combine into one video. For single first-frame animation use Gemini Omni Flash I2V; to modify an existing video use Gemini Omni Flash Video Edit.
google/gemini-omni-flash-i2v
[Core Function] Gemini Omni Flash I2V is a fast Image-to-Video model that animates a single input image into a short 720p video via the Interactions API. [Strengths] It uses the provided image as the opening frame and generates smooth motion with natively synchronized audio at low latency. [Best For] Highly recommended for: bringing a still photo to life, quick product or portrait animation, and short social clips derived from a single image. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need 1080p or 4K output, clips longer than 10 seconds, or the fusion of multiple reference images; it takes exactly one image and outputs 720p up to 10 seconds (16:9 or 9:16). Do NOT use it to edit an existing video. [Routing] Choose this when the user provides one image to animate. To fuse multiple reference images use Gemini Omni Flash R2V; to edit an existing video use Gemini Omni Flash Video Edit; for 4K cinematic results use Veo 3.1 I2V.

[Limitations] Do NOT use this model for last-frame conditioning (it does not support FL2V). Do NOT use if you need 1080p resolution for 10 seconds (1080p is capped at 6s). [Routing] Use this model by default for high-quality image-to-video tasks involving people or art. For physical realism or 10s at 1080p, route to Hailuo 02 I2V. For cost-effective/faster generation, route to Hailuo 2.3 Fast I2V.
