Incredibly proud to have brought Flow to life with an incredible team. Flow truly was built with and for creatives since day 1 and I cant wait to see the stories creators tell with these amazing tools. #GoogleFlow

@avlinguini The video of the DJ was playing on the TV. I recorded a 10s video of it. Then edited the video with Omni inside @FlowbyGoogle.

Told #GeminiOmni the TV was a hole in the wall. Whole new way to watch YouTube.

The behind the scenes on Timmy TPU is an incredible look into how Generative AI is only a tool in the creative process. #GeminiOmni

We wanted to see if we could take simple, physical materials (like cardboard and markers) and use AI to bring them to life. What was the result? A short film starring a bunch of TPUs getting ready for the big stage at Google I/O 2026!

Working with director Laurie Rowan and Nexus Studios, we kept human artistry at the center of the film by blending puppetry and 3D animation with our models to do the following ↓

Nano Banana: Generated beautifully stylized first frames from the raw puppet footage and basic 3D animations.

@GoogleAIStudio: Built a custom tool inside the platform to test these frames at scale, ensuring pixel-perfect consistency

Gemini Omni & experimental @GoogleDeepMind Models: Merged the base animation and stylized frames to elevate the final piece to a cinematic level.

Our AI pipelines were specifically designed to protect the crafty details that give these films their heart, like the tiny human imperfections of puppetry, or the nuance an animator can build into an expression.

and this is why @joshwoodward is the best in the biz. 👏

We’ve heard your feedback about hitting limits too quickly on @GeminiApp. We're rolling out several fixes to make your quota stretch further and feel more predictable… 🧵

The FUTURE of video editing? It might already be here 🤯



Google Flow + the new Omni model:
→ Full clip generation in under a minute
→ 35 remix + sketch tools
→ Proper character consistency
