Released veo-2.0-generate-001, a generally available (GA) text- and image-to-video model, capable of generating detailed and artistically nuanced videos. To learn more, see the Veo docs. Released gemini-2.0-flash-live-001, a public preview version of the Live API model with billing enabled. Enhanced Session Management and Reliability Session Resumption: Keep sessions alive across temporary network disruptions. The API now supports server-side session state storage (for up to 24 hours) and provides handles (session_resumption) to reconnect and resume where you left off. Longer Sessions via Context Compression: Enable extended interactions beyond previous time limits. Configure context window compression with a sliding window mechanism to automatically manage context length, preventing abrupt terminations due to context limits. Graceful Disconnect Notification: Receive a GoAway server message indicating when a connection is about to close, allowing for graceful handling before termination. More Control over Interaction Dynamics Configurable Voice Activity Detection (VAD): Choose sensitivity levels or disable automatic VAD entirely and use new client events (activityStart, activityEnd) for manual turn control. Configurable Interruption Handling: Decide whether user input should interrupt the model's response. Configurable Turn Coverage: Choose whether the API processes all audio and video input continuously or only captures it when the end-user is detected speaking. Configurable Media Resolution: Optimize for quality or token usage by selecting the resolution for input media. Richer Output and Features Expanded Voice & Language Options: Choose from two new voices and 30 new languages for audio output. The output language is now configurable within speechConfig. Text Streaming: Receive text responses incrementally as they are generated, enabling faster display to the user. Token Usage Reporting: Gain insights into usage with detailed token counts provided in the usageMetadata field of server messages, broken down by modality and prompt or response phases.
