Google has finally released its AI video generation model called Veo 2 to rival OpenAI’s Sora model. Unlike Sora which can generate 20-second clips up to 1080p resolution, Google’s Veo 2 model can produce minutes-long videos at stunning 4K resolution. Importantly, Google says Veo 2 understands “real-world physics” and “the nuances of human movement and expression” for improved realism.
In our Sora hands-on testing, we noted that OpenAI’s video generation model lacks a good understanding of physics. But Veo 2 promises better output as it hallucinates less. For example, with Veo 2, you are unlikely to get extra fingers in humans or unexpected objects in the final output.
Apart from that, you can generate videos in different styles by defining the lens, genre, cinematic effects, close-up shots, low-angle tracking shots, and more.
Veo 2 is being slowly rolled out via VideoFX, YouTube, and Vertex AI. To access Veo 2, you need to sign up for …
