Veo 3.1

Google's preview video model for text-, image-, and video-guided generation with native audio and output options up to 4K.

Open provider docsSee key factsPricing & comparisons

Plain-English overview

What Veo 3.1 actually is

Veo 3.1 handles short clips with synchronized audio and supports generation, extension, interpolation, and reference-driven workflows through variant-specific endpoints. Resolution, duration, and input mode are linked; not every combination is available.

Google publishes an unusually useful request-latency range of 11 seconds to six minutes during peak periods. That is an operational range, not a quality benchmark, and higher resolution can increase latency and price.

Good fit for

  • Short cinematic clips with native audio
  • 4K experiments and video extension
  • Google-centric media pipelines

Data and training

The route matters.

Google says paid Gemini API content is not used to improve its products. Generated videos are retained on the server for two days and should be downloaded during that window.

This is a concise reading of the cited provider material, not legal advice. A third-party gateway can have different storage, routing, training, and residency terms from the model maker's direct API.
