What is Veo 4?

The anticipated next generation of Google DeepMind's AI video model

Veo 4 is the anticipated next generation of Google DeepMind's Veo AI video model. Veo is a text-to-video AI first announced at Google I/O in May 2024, designed to generate high-quality videos from text and image prompts with an emphasis on cinematic realism.

The current latest model is Veo 3.1, released in January 2026, which delivers richer native audio with natural conversations and synchronized sound effects, enhanced image-to-video capabilities, native vertical video (9:16) output, 4K upscaling, scene extension for videos over a minute, and improved identity consistency across multiple scenes.

Veo powers Google Flow, an AI filmmaking tool that has sparked over 275 million videos generated. Veo is available through the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, YouTube, and Flow.

Veo 4 is expected to build on Veo 3.1 with further advances in video quality, extended duration, higher native resolution, improved physics simulation, and more expressive creative control.
