Unconfirmed: The X account @testingcatalog said on 5 November that Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash references had been spotted on Google Cloud Platform, a claim Automatica has not independently confirmed.
@testingcatalog wrote1 at 13:47 UTC on 5 November: “Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash model references have been spotted on GCP.” In the same post, the account added: “It is expected to be a minor upgrade over the current Omni 1.1 Flash video generation model.” If accurate, that would matter because the post describes a new entry in Google’s video-generation model line, albeit only as a modest update.
About five hours later, at 19:03 UTC, Automatica Press reported that Google had made Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available in a separate story, “Google makes Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash generally available with 15-second clips”2. That earlier report said Google described the model as cutting costs by 30% and extending native clip length to 15 seconds, while noting those performance and pricing claims were self-reported and not independently verified.
On the evidence available here, the useful point is the sequence rather than the leak itself: the social post came first, and Automatica’s later coverage reported a general-availability release the same day. Automatica cannot tell from the retrieved material whether the GCP references mentioned in the post and the later released model were definitively the same listing, but the naming and timing are consistent.
The sourcing limit remains narrow. This report verifies that @testingcatalog made the claim at 13:47 UTC; it does not independently verify that the account’s claimed GCP references existed as described. The retrieved material also contains no Google statement specifically about the spotted references themselves, even though Automatica later reported the model as generally available.
What would confirm the post more directly would be a verifiable Google Cloud listing, product documentation, or a Google statement tying the spotted references to the released Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash model. Short of that, the strongest supported reading from the available evidence is chronological: a named account pointed to GCP references hours before Automatica reported the model’s release.
