Gemini UI leaks Omni video model

This looks like pre-I/O staging more than a confirmed launch, but it is a meaningful signal that Google may be reshuffling its Gemini video stack.

• –The string is visible in UI, which usually means the name is close to public-facing rollout rather than buried backend scaffolding
• –Its placement beside Toucan suggests Google may be preparing a transition path from the current Veo 3.1 flow
• –Google has already been pushing Veo 3.1 across Gemini, Flow, API, and Vertex AI, so Omni could be a brand consolidation or a new model line
• –For developers, the key question is whether Omni preserves current Gemini/Vertex surfaces or introduces a new, incompatible video-gen API
• –If this is real, Google I/O is the obvious place to clarify whether Omni replaces Veo or sits alongside it
