Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 on Sume vs Veo 3.1 Fast: 8-second clip price
An 8-second 720p clip is $1.00 on Sume's Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 and $0.80 on Veo 3.1 Fast at the Gemini API list. At 4K it is $3.00 against $2.40.

For an 8-second clip at 720p, Sume's Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 costs $1.00 (list $0.10 a second times 1.25) and Veo 3.1 Fast on the Gemini API costs $0.80. At 4K it is $3.00 against $2.40. The Sume premium is exactly the 25 percent list markup; the models are different, so this is a price comparison only. Read 2026-10-03.
Omni Flash is Sume's default for sume/auto, per the Video Router docs, so its price is the one a default request pays.
The rates side by side
Sume lists Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 at $0.03, $0.10, $0.15 and $0.30 per second for 360p, 720p, 1080p and 4K, and bills list times 1.25. Google lists Veo 3.1 Fast at $0.10 (720p), $0.12 (1080p) and $0.30 (4K) per second, with no 360p tier. Omni Flash runs 3 to 10 seconds per clip on Sume, so an 8-second clip fits.
| Resolution | Omni list per second | Omni billed per second | Omni 8 seconds | Veo Fast per second | Veo Fast 8 seconds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 360p | $0.03 | $0.0375 | $0.30 | n/a | n/a |
| 720p | $0.10 | $0.1250 | $1.00 | $0.10 | $0.80 |
| 1080p | $0.15 | $0.1875 | $1.50 | $0.12 | $0.96 |
| 4K | $0.30 | $0.3750 | $3.00 | $0.30 | $2.40 |
Where the gap is largest
At 1080p Omni is $1.50 against $0.96 for Veo Fast, a gap of $0.54. At 4K the list rates match, so the gap is only the markup, $0.60. At 720p the list rates also match.
Omni Flash has a 360p tier at $0.0375 a second, which is $0.30 for 8 seconds. Veo has no equivalent, so cheap drafts are only available on the Omni side.
What the markup buys
The extra 25 percent buys access through one wallet and one API, the same job and status endpoints as other Sume routes, and the router's catalog of other models. If you only ever need one Google model and already hold a Google account, calling it directly is cheaper at the list rate.
