Veo 3 Preview

Retired

Preview endpoint for Veo 3, marked shut down by Google. Google publishes shutdown dates as "the earliest possible dates on which a model might be retired"; already-shut-down models are marked with a grey row on the deprecations page. REPLACEMENT RE-POINTED 2026-10-20: the deprecations table's Recommended replacement cell now reads 'gemini-omni-1.1-flash'; until the 2026-10-19 read it named veo-3.1-generate-preview, which Google shut down on October 22, 2026 (row grey on the 2026-10-23 read) and which itself points at gemini-omni-1.1-flash. Google does not date the edit (page: Last updated 2026-10-20 UTC). The row stays gray; nothing else in it moved.

Veo 3 Preview by Google is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It has been retired (shut down 12 Nov 2025); the recommended migration is Gemini Omni Flash.
