Beating AI News: Google has launched its Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash video generation model. The new version can produce videos up to 15 seconds long, a 50% increase over its predecessor. The cost of 720p video generation has dropped by 30% to $0.07 per second, meaning a 15-second video costs just $1.05 to generate. A key upgrade of Omni 1.2 Flash is its enhanced ability to maintain consistency of characters and visuals during sequential video edits. For example, users can use chat prompts to sequentially change the background of the same video to a forest, stable, and castle, while retaining the original characters, actions, and camera angles. The new version also fixes lip-sync issues for multi-person dialogues and the problem of abrupt visual jumps during continuous camera movements. In the preliminary Arena rankings released on November 5, Omni 1.2 Flash ranked first in both text-to-video and image-to-video categories, and third in video editing. The new model is now available via the Gemini API and integrated with Flow and Google Vids. The 15-second video generation feature of the Gemini App is gradually being rolled out to Google AI Ultra users.

According to Bitget market data, South Korea's KOSPI index continues to rebound, with its decline narrowing to less than 4%.

Renowned U.S. stock market analyst Mark Minervini wrote in a post that he does not believe U.S. equities will see a crash on par with the 1987 sell-off in magnitude, but today may lay the groundwork for some form of stock market crash that could last one to two weeks. “If the downturn intensifies, SPY could drop 10% to 15% from its highs, with a worst-case decline of 20%. The Nasdaq may fall 20% to 25%. A cyclical bear market similar to 1998 is possible.”

According to Bitget market data, South Korea's KOSPI index has narrowed its decline to 5% after falling more than 8.5% earlier. SK Hynix is currently down 6.9%, while Samsung Electronics is down 4.2%.

NVIDIA closed down 9.3%, notching its largest single-day drop since January 2025. SpaceX fell 9%, while Oracle declined 6.9%. The sell-off also triggered massive wealth losses for tech billionaires. Per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s net worth dropped by $15.1 billion in a single day to $150.9 billion, slipping from 9th to 13th place in the global billionaire rankings and out of the top 10. SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison saw their wealth shrink by $79.7 billion and $10.1 billion respectively on Thursday. On that day, the combined wealth of the world’s top 500 billionaires tracked by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index fell by $185 billion. This marks the 14th largest single-day wealth loss on record since Bloomberg launched the index in 2012.
