Google DeepMind has announced Veo 2, a new AI video generation model 📹 that can create two-minute videos in 4K resolution. This is currently only available through Google's VideoFX tool.
The details
Advanced Video Generation: Veo 2 can generate videos up to two minutes long in 4K resolution (4096 x 2160 pixels), going beyond OpenAI's Sora in both duration and resolution.
Technical Improvements: The model features better physics understanding, enhanced camera controls, and improved handling of textures, motion, and lighting effects. It can generate various styles and maintains better consistency in scenes, though some visual artifacts remain.
Deployment Plans: Google plans to expand VideoFX access and integrate Veo 2 into its Vertex AI platform. The technology will be gradually rolled out across Google's ecosystem, with updates expected throughout the year.
Why it matters
The release signals Google's intensified competition with OpenAI in the AI space, particularly following Sora's announcement. While currently not widely available yet, the technology demonstrates significant progress in generating longer, higher-quality videos with better control over technical elements like camera movement and physics simulation.
