Google Veo 2 Now Available To All Gemini Advanced Users: New AI Model Unveiled
Google has recently introduced Veo 2, a cutting-edge video-generating AI model designed exclusively for users of the Gemini Advanced plan, which is Google's premium AI offering. This latest innovation from Google allows users to create concise eight-second videos accompanied by text prompts written in natural language. Positioned as a competitor to OpenAI’s Sora AI model, Google is optimistic that Veo 2 will surpass its rivals in performance.
How to Access Veo 2
According to TechCrunch, subscribers of Gemini Advanced can easily access the Veo 2 AI model by selecting it from the model drop-down menu within the Gemini app. Users can leverage this technology to produce short video clips lasting up to eight seconds, with a resolution of 720p and an aspect ratio of 16:9. These video clips can be seamlessly shared on various platforms such as TikTok and YouTube through Gemini's convenient “share” feature.
Key Features and Limitations
One of the notable features of the new Veo 2 AI model is the ability to download the generated videos in MP4 format, uniquely watermarked with Google’s advanced SynthID technology. However, Google has specified that there exists a monthly limit on the number of videos that can be created using this latest update. Users will be promptly notified as they approach this limit.
Rollout and Enhancements
Although the Veo 2 model is currently being rolled out, it may take a few weeks for eligible users worldwide to gain access to this cutting-edge technology. During the launch, Google emphasized that Veo 2 offers enhancements in realism and detail across various elements. Notably, the AI model has been equipped with the capability to comprehend technical terms associated with cinematography. This allows users to specify elements such as camera lens, movements, effects, and more in their text prompts, which Veo 2 will faithfully execute.
Ensuring Realism and Accuracy
Google has also highlighted that Veo 2 has been carefully trained to minimize inaccuracies or hallucinations in the generated content. Viewers can expect a reduction in unexpected details such as additional fingers, distorted limbs, or out-of-place objects, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Future Integration with Whisk
In an exciting development, Google is exploring the integration of Veo 2 with Whisk, an experimental product within Google Labs that enables users to utilize images as prompts for Gemini to generate new visual content, paving the way for more creative possibilities.
For those interested in leveraging the advanced capabilities of Gemini Advanced, the subscription is currently priced at $19.99 (approximately Rs 1,700) per month. Additionally, new subscribers can avail of a complimentary two-month free trial to experience the potential of this innovative AI model.
