Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 is Google's Veo generation, emphasizing realistic motion, prompt adherence, and native audio: 4, 6, or 8 second clips (extendable) up to 4K, with first and last frames and up to three reference images. It is no longer Google's top-ranked video model — Gemini Omni Flash leads both blind-vote leaderboards at about a quarter of Veo 3.1 Standard's 720p price — but Veo 3.1 Lite is the cheapest audio-video rate we found.
