What is Veo?
Veo is a video generation model developed by Google DeepMind. The current version, Veo 3.1, adds sound to the video it creates, so the output includes native audio rather than silent footage. The page describes it as the company's leading video generation model, designed for filmmakers and storytellers.
According to the page, Veo focuses on realism, prompt accuracy and creative control. Its newer versions are said to follow prompts more closely, produce greater realism and fidelity, and keep consistency across shots and audio. Veo is available through the Gemini app, through Google Flow (the filmmaking tool), and for developers through the Build with Veo option. Example clips with prompts are shown on the page.
