Google Unveils Veo 3.1 AI Video Generator with Enhanced Image-to-Video and Synchronized Audio Generation

Google announced Veo 3.1, an upgraded AI video generation model now available for preview via the Gemini API and integrated into the Flow editor, offering improved prompt adherence, enhanced image-to-video conversion with simultaneous audio generation, and start/end frame interpolation; while outputs still appear somewhat artificial compared to OpenAI’s Sora 2, Google positions Veo 3.1 as a practical tool for professional creators amid growing competition in AI video.
