  • Artificial Analysis announced Gemini Omni Flash debuted at #1 on their Video Editing Leaderboard, completing a near-sweep of all three video leaderboards at launch.
  • Since the announcement, MiniMax H3 entered and now holds #1 in Video Editing (Elo 1,130 vs. Gemini Omni Flash's 1,122); margins are within statistical error.
  • Gemini Omni Flash leads in four of five editing categories — Complex Edits, Object Editing, Visual Effects, and Physics — but ranks 3rd in Sound & Speech Editing.
  • The model supports conversational multi-turn video editing via the Interactions API, processing text, image, audio, and video in a single unified context.
  • Priced at $0.10/sec ($6.00/min) for both generation and editing — among the cheapest top-tier options on the leaderboard.
  • Available now in the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform under model ID gemini-omni-flash-preview.

Artificial Analysis announced that Google's Gemini Omni Flash debuted at #1 on their Video Editing Leaderboard, completing what they called a near-sweep of all three video leaderboards. The model had already held the top spot in Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video, making it the leader across every major video category simultaneously. Since that announcement, MiniMax H3 has entered the leaderboard and now sits at #1 in Video Editing, pushing Gemini Omni Flash to #2.

Where things stand now

The current Artificial Analysis Video Leaderboard rankings show a tight race across all three categories:

Leaderboard#1#2Gemini Omni Flash Elo
Text-to-VideoGemini Omni Flash (1,244)MiniMax H3 (1,238)1,244
Image-to-VideoDreamina Seedance 2.0 (1,196)Gemini Omni Flash (1,194)1,194
Video EditingMiniMax H3 (1,130)Gemini Omni Flash (1,122)1,122

The margins are tight enough to fall within statistical error in most cases. Rankings use an Elo system derived from millions of blind pairwise votes, where users pick between two unlabeled videos. The Video Editing Leaderboard currently has between 8,000 and 18,000 samples per model, giving the scores statistical weight.

What Gemini Omni Flash actually is

Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-flash-preview) is a multimodal model built for high-speed video generation, editing, and cinematic control. The "omni" in the name refers to its architecture: it processes video, audio, text, and images in a single unified context rather than routing each modality through separate pipelines.
