Google Veo 3.1

Google's high-quality video model with native audio, reference-image support, and frame-to-frame control.

From Google, Veo 3.1 is a cloud video-generation model. It produces short video clips from a text prompt, a starting image, or by interpolating between a first and last frame. Clips run up to 8s at 4K with a synchronized audio track. It also supports a negative prompt, seed control, and reference images. It runs through Runware, Replicate, OpenRouter, and Google using your own API key, from about $0.20 per second of output.

Sora vs Veo vs Kling in 2026: one shutdown, one successor, one survivor

One dies in 70 days, one was outranked by its own maker, one still ships. The matchup, re-run for real: six clips, first takes only.

How to make a 30-second AI video ad, end-to-end

Forty-seven minutes. Three dollars and seventy-three cents. Every prompt, every cost, one API — and the finished ad, embedded.
