Veo 3.1

Retired

The per-second rates in this note are the last ones published: the pricing page carries no Veo 3.1 section on the 2026-10-23 read. Billed per second of generated video with audio: $0.40/s at 720p and 1080p, $0.60/s at 4K. Paid tier only, no free tier; token price fields are N/A. Google states you are only charged if the video is generated successfully. DEPRECATED: Google's deprecations table, read first-hand 2026-10-02, now lists veo-3.1-generate-preview with release date October 15, 2025, shutdown date October 22, 2026 and gemini-omni-1.1-flash as the recommended replacement. Until 2026-10-23 the row was held at deprecated: on every read up to 2026-10-22 it was NOT grey, and grey is Google's own marker for an endpoint that is already off. The row was absent on the 2026-09-29 read (until then Google had announced no shutdown date), so the announcement landed between 2026-09-29 and 2026-10-02; Google does not date it, and deprecated_on stays null. Google publishes shutdown dates as "the earliest possible dates on which a model might be retired". Until the 2026-10-19 read Google still named it as the recommended migration target for the retired Veo 3 and Veo 2 rows, alongside "the GA models available through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform", even as it carried its own shutdown date; on the 2026-10-20 read those rows point at gemini-omni-1.1-flash directly. CONFIRMED RETIRED 2026-10-23 on the only signal this catalog accepts for a Google shutdown: the veo-3.1-generate-preview row on the deprecations page now carries a literal class="row-gray" on its <tr> (page: Last updated 2026-10-22 UTC), and that page's own legend reads "Already-shutdown models are indicated with gray backgrounds"; check-lifecycle-drift.mjs reported Google stating "shut-down" against our "deprecated". Corroborated on the same read by the model page (docs/models/veo-3.1-generate-preview), whose banner now reads "veo-3.1-generate-preview and veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview were shut down on October 22, 2026". The rate rows have left the pricing page, so the token price fields stay null and source_url now points at the deprecations table instead of the pricing page.

Veo 3.1 by Google is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It has been retired (shut down 22 Oct 2026); the recommended migration is Gemini Omni Flash.
