Veo 2
Veo 2 is Google DeepMind's video generation model producing high-quality, cinematic video from text and image prompts. It generates video in resolutions up to 4K with remarkably consistent physics and character continuity. The model understands filmmaking concepts like camera angles, lighting, and lens effects, allowing creators to specify cinematic styles. Veo 2 competes directly with OpenAI's Sora and in some benchmarks produces more physically consistent motion. Available through Google's AI tools, it represents Google's major entry into the generative video space.
