The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Google's post 'Updates to Veo, Imagen and VideoFX, plus introducing Whisk in Google Labs' is dated 16 Dec 2024 and says 'Today we're introducing a new video model, Veo 2'; TechCrunch's[5] report of the same day says 'On Monday, DeepMind announced Veo 2'.
Free AI Studio output limited to 720p, 24 fps and 8-second clips, against Google's 4K and minutes-long claims.[1]
Hands-on test finding believable motion and faces but a glass that hangs in the air, and trouble with multiple subjects.[1]
Praise for physics based on Google's own samples; the writer says he had not tried Veo 2 himself.[1]
Says Veo 2 can make two-minute-plus clips up to 4K in theory, but VideoFX caps videos at 720p and eight seconds, and that it takes text or text plus a reference image.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.

Veo 2 is the state-of-the-art video generation model and outperforms all competing AI models, including OpenAI’s Sora.
Veo 2 excels in producing visually stunning and detailed videos and offers impressive control over camera work through prompting.
Veo 2 can’t quite clear the uncanny valley.
a new version of the Veo artificial intelligence video model that has the most accurate understanding of physics I've seen from any video tool so far.
