"It's getting harder to know what's real on the Internet, and Google is not helping one bit with the announcement of Veo 3.1. The company's new video model supposedly offers better audio and realism, along with greater prompt accuracy. The updated video AI will be available throughout the Google ecosystem, including the Flow filmmaking tool, where the new model will unlock additional features."
"Veo made waves when it debuted earlier this year, demonstrating a staggering improvement in AI video quality just a few months after Veo 2's release. It turns out that having all that video on YouTube is very useful for training AI models, so Google is already moving on to Veo 3.1 with a raft of new features. Google says Veo 3.1 offers stronger prompt adherence, which results in better video outputs and fewer wasted compute cycles."
"Audio, which was a hallmark feature of the Veo 3 release, has reportedly improved, too. Veo 3's text-to-video was limited to 720p landscape output, but there's an ever-increasing volume of vertical video on the Internet. So Veo 3.1 can produce both landscape and portrait 16:9 video. Google previously said it would bring Veo video tools to YouTube Shorts, which use a vertical video format like TikTok."
Veo 3.1 enhances video generation with stronger prompt adherence, improved audio, and greater realism. The model will be integrated across the Google ecosystem, including the Flow filmmaking tool, unlocking additional features and potentially reducing wasted compute cycles. Veo 3.1 adds output support for both landscape and portrait 16:9 formats, addressing vertical video demand on platforms like YouTube Shorts and TikTok. A new "Fast" variant will reduce cost and speed up video generation. Extensive YouTube video data contributed to rapid model advancement. The release maintains Google’s competition with OpenAI, which recently released an updated Sora video-generating app for iPhone.
