Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash: Fast and cost-effective with longer clips

Google DeepMind has launched Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, introducing native 15-second video generation, improved reference adherence, stronger consistency across frames, multi-turn conversational editing, more natural speech, and cinematic camera movements. The model is now generally available via the Gemini API and Gemini for business, priced at $0.07 per second for 720p video—30% lower than its predecessor. It supports scalable workflows, including draft generation at lower resolutions, iterative edits, and upscaling to 1080p or 4K. Use cases include product explainers, social ads, virtual try-ons, and branded content, with applications across Google AI Studio, Google Cloud, Google Vids, Flow, the Gemini app, and Google Ads.

Nvidia releases all-in-one adaptable Nemotron 3.5 audio transcription and translation model

Nvidia Corp. today released a leaderboard-winning open artificial intelligence model for multilingual audio transcription and translation, along with an open data pipeline for fine-tuning Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe. Traditional transcription AI models follow a workflow that detects speech, transcribes it, identifies and labels different speakers, then answers questions about the transcription. Transcribe does all of this […] The post Nvidia releases all-in-one adaptable Nemotron 3.5 audio transcription and translation model appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

3, 7, 14, 17, 42: Instruction Tuning Installs and Sharpens Number-Choice Heuristics in Language Models

arXiv:2610.36178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We measure, without sampling error, the probability a language model assigns to each integer from 1 to N when asked for a random number. For a fixed prompt the model defines one probability vector, which we compute by summing over each integer's scored spellings rather than estimate by sampling, removing the noise that limits earlier studies [1, 4]. We evaluate 18 open-weight model lines at five ranges up to N = 100, under 29 decoding configurations, on two inference stacks; 15 of them have matched base and instruction-tuned checkpoints that both give usable answers. Instruction tuning makes the distribution less uniform in all 15 pairs. It installs one heuristic, round-number avoidance, and sharpens another, endpoint avoidance. Base checkpoi
