Gemini Omni Flash does not support system instructions, temperature, top_p, stop sequences or negative prompts. Google's advice is to put negatives in the regular prompt, for example "Do not do X". Sume's video request has no sampling fields either, so the same approach works there.

The vendor list is from Google's video generation guide; the Sume side is from the video generation docs, both read 2026-10-01.

Which controls does Google say are unsupported?

The limitations list names five: system instructions, temperature, top_p, stop sequences, and negative prompts. It also says to write negatives into the prompt text.

What fields does a Sume video request accept?

Sume video request fields relevant to generation controls, read 2026-10-01.
FieldWhat the docs say
promptText description of the video to generate
seedNo v1 model accepts it; each reports seed: false and rejects the field
provider.optionsA non-empty value returns 400 unsupported_parameter
Sampling fieldsNot in the request parameter table

Where do I put a negative, then?

In the prompt. Write it as a plain instruction, such as "no text overlays", after the description of what you do want. The general technique is covered in AI video negative prompts.

Can I get repeatable output with a seed?

Not through Sume's v1 video route: sending seed is rejected. If you need to repeat a result, keep the job id and the returned artifact rather than trying to regenerate it.
