Here’s the scoop:
DeepMind unveiled Veo 2, the successor to its flagship video model, Veo.
This new AI can generate 4K videos up to 2 minutes long—pushing past the capabilities of OpenAI’s Sora, which maxes out at 1080p and 20 seconds.
But wait…
For now, Veo 2’s tools, like VideoFX, are capped at 720p and eight seconds per clip. (Scaling is a journey, not a race, right?)
Here’s what makes Veo 2 special:
• Sharper visuals, fluid motion, and cinematic effects. Think shadows, reflections, and lifelike textures.
• Improved camera control. Pan, zoom, and angles that feel almost human.
• Creative-ready designs. Collaborations with artists like Donald Glover and The Weeknd are shaping its evolution.
The potential? Game-changing.
But… it’s not perfect yet. The uncanny valley looms, and complex long-term prompts still trip it up. Even Google acknowledges Veo 2’s room for growth.
DeepMind is setting the pace for AI creativity, blending technology with artistry.
