Google Veo
High-fidelity video generation with native audio, on Google Cloud.

Overview
Veo is Google DeepMind's video model, generating high-resolution clips with synchronised dialogue, effects, and ambient sound from a single prompt — audio is native rather than added afterwards.
It reaches users through the Gemini app, Flow, and Vertex AI, which makes it unusually easy to access at the consumer end while still offering the governance controls enterprises need.
