Google Veo

by Google (Google DeepMind)

Google’s video generation family with native audio. Closed models, available only through Google products and APIs (no open weights).

Status (Gemini API docs, 2026-09-30)

  • Veo 3.1 (veo-3.1-generate-preview) and Veo 3.1 Lite (veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview): both listed as Preview. Veo 3.1 supports native audio, video extension and frame-specific (first/last frame) generation. Launched October 2025 (date from earlier knowledge; not re-fetched).
  • Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash, Stable): fast video generation, editing, keyframe interpolation and extension with native audio. The video docs now recommend it as the default, keeping Veo 3.1 for scene extension, last-frame control and legacy pipelines.
  • Retired: veo-3.0-generate-001, veo-3.0-fast-generate-001 and veo-2.0-generate-001 were scheduled for shutdown on 2026-06-30 (replacement veo-3.1-*-preview).

Pricing

Usage-based, per second of generated video on the Gemini API (Lite is cheaper than the standard tier; Omni is token-priced). Current prices: see https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing

Access
