As promised, reduced pricing for Veo 3.1 Fast is here ↓

@GoogleAIStudio Today ain’t your Google it’s Claude’s day

@GoogleAIStudio We all expect Veo 4 not 3.1 😭😭

Impressive move by Google AI Developers, bringing Veo 3.1 Lite to the Gemini API and Google AI Studio significantly lowers the barrier for scalable video generation. The combination of text-to-video and image-to-video at a reduced cost opens up strong opportunities for creators and developers to experiment, prototype, and deploy faster. Looking forward to seeing real-world use cases emerge. 🚀

@GoogleAIStudio When Veo 4? Please tell me very soon!

@GoogleAIStudio "Less than half the cost" are my five favorite words in any API announcement. Time to see exactly how far my credits can stretch this weekend.

@Scobleizer @GoogleAIStudio This is big. Text-to-Video + Image-to-Video at half the cost is a game changer 🔥

@GoogleAIStudio We don’t want this

@GoogleAIStudio 🔥🔥

@GoogleAIStudio We need veo4 instead

@GoogleAIStudio We need the release of Veo 4 Huge. C'mon guys...

mage-to-Video at Lite pricing is the actual story here. At $0.08/s for 1080p, you can anchor generation to a specific reference frame — consistent characters, consistent environments — without manual stitching between shots. Text-to-video gets the headline. I2V is what ships real product. Nerd Note: Fixed-frame I2V conditioning reduces temporal drift across generated sequences far more reliably than text-only synthesis at equivalent compute cost.

@GoogleAIStudio nobody wanted this

@GoogleAIStudio Half the cost is nice but show me the quality gap.

@Scobleizer @GoogleAIStudio Veo3.1 lite is asss just tried it

@GoogleAIStudio archive this and upload 2 days later. todays 9/11 for anthropic

I'm going to be very productive with this

@GoogleAIStudio While this is appreciated, Veo 4 needs to be released.

@GoogleAIStudio Preview generations before full render. Saves 80% of wasted credits on unusable outputs.

@GoogleAIStudio Looks good

@GoogleAIStudio Going to try it right away.

@GoogleAIStudio Maybe with Veo 3.1 there will be new AI businesses in weeks who can automate production grade long form videos.

@GoogleAIStudio we did it

@GoogleAIStudio good April's fool joke dude

@GoogleAIStudio Amazing 🤩

@GoogleAIStudio Just after Claude code was leaked is insane 😂😂

@GoogleAIStudio @grok How does it compare to Seedance 2.0?

@GoogleAIStudio Guess they’re trying to make video generation more accessible. But half the cost makes me wonder: what's the catch in terms of quality or capabilities?

@GoogleAIStudio Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video at this price point is a game-changer for developers. The API access makes it so easy to integrate into existing projects.

@Scobleizer @GoogleAIStudio Seedance way better

@GoogleAIStudio Veo 3.1 Lite looks really promising, text‑to‑video + image‑to‑video at less than half the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast is a big deal for scaling creative workflows and experiments with video generation. #Veo31Lite #Veo31 #GeminiAPI

@GoogleAIStudio Half the cost AND still powerful?! 😱🎬 Veo 3.1 Lite is about to go everywhere!
