Google releases new AI video generation model worldwide

Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) latest artificial intelligence-powered video generation model, Veo 3, is now available to Gemini users in 159 countries.

“The wait is over,” said Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs and Gemini, in a post on X. “@GeminiApp is now shipping Veo 3 *globally* for all Pro members! That means India, Indonesia, all of Europe, and more are starting to get access to create videos right now. As a member, you’ll get 3 video generations per day, and that credit will replenish daily.”

Veo 3 allows users to generate up to 8-second videos with audio using text prompts. Woodward said they are still working on photo to video generations, but he expects that feature to be ready soon.

Google said businesses are using the feature to create social media ads and product demos as well as training videos and presentations.

“Veo 3 is the single greatest leap forward in practically useful AI for advertising since genAI first broke into the mainstream in 2023,” said Pencil CEO and co-founder Will Hanschell. “By allowing brands to make fully fledged films from a single prompt – including brand, story, video, sound effects, voiceovers and more – Veo3 in one swoop lowers the barriers to entry to gen AI for creative people and elevates gen AI to a top-tier brand building tool usable at every stage of the marketing funnel.”

Google’s AI Pro plan is $19.99 per month. It is currently offering the first month free.
