Google is letting Gemini Advanced subscribers try out Veo 2, its text-to-video AI model that it says is capable of creating high-resolution clips with “cinematic realism.” Subscribers can select Veo 2 from the Gemini model dropdown on the web and mobile, where they can enter a prompt to generate an eight-second video in 720p.

There’s a limit to how many videos subscribers can create each month, and Google says it will notify users when they approach it. Veo 2 outputs videos in an MP4 format, but users on mobile also have the option to upload them directly to TikTok and YouTube with the “share” button.

OpenAI has enhanced its o3 reasoning model lineup with upgraded versions that can now incorporate images directly into their thinking process, while gaining access to all available ChatGPT tools.
