Speculation ยท Not Official
Expected Veo 4 Features
Based on industry leaks, internal Google references, and the trajectory from Veo 1 โ Veo 3.1. None of this is confirmed by Google.
4K Resolution
Expected jump from 1080p to native 4K output, matching the resolution trend across Google's media models.
~30s Clip Length
Rumored to extend single-generation length from 8 seconds to roughly 30 seconds, reducing the need to chain clips.
Character Consistency
Industry leaks point to zero-shot avatar creation and multi-shot character continuity โ a major weakness of current Veo.
Storyboard Mode
Define a sequence of scenes with different prompts, camera angles, and character actions in one structured input.
Improved Native Audio
Better lip sync across languages, more expressive speech, and layered Foley / ambient sound design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has Veo 4 been released?+
No. As of May 2026, Google has not officially announced or released Veo 4. The most recent publicly available Google video model is Veo 3.1, which launched in 2025. Some third-party websites use the name "Veo 4" speculatively โ but there is no official API, no public release, and no Google-confirmed feature list.
When is Veo 4 expected to be announced?+
The most likely window is Google I/O 2026 (May 19โ20, 2026). Google has used I/O for major Veo announcements twice before โ Veo 1 in May 2024 and Veo 3 in May 2025 โ so analysts and industry watchers expect Google to follow the same cadence. This is speculation, not confirmation.
What features are expected in Veo 4?+
Industry reporting and leaks suggest Veo 4 will likely include: 4K native resolution (up from 1080p in Veo 3.1), extended video length (up to ~30 seconds per generation), dramatically improved character consistency for multi-shot scenes, storyboard-aware generation (define a sequence of scenes with different prompts), and improved native audio with better lip sync and layered sound design. None of this is officially confirmed.
What is the difference between Veo 3.1 and Veo 4?+
Veo 3.1 is the currently available model: 1080p, up to 8 seconds, native audio, image-to-video and text-to-video. Veo 4 is rumored to extend on every dimension โ 4K, ~30s, multi-scene continuity, storyboarding, improved audio โ but until Google confirms, only Veo 3.1 specifications are real.
Can I use Veo 4 today?+
No โ Veo 4 has not been released. What you can do today is use Veo 3.1 (Google's current flagship video model) on VO3 AI, which supports text-to-video, image-to-video, native audio, and merging clips up to 90 seconds. When Veo 4 launches, VO3 AI plans to integrate it as soon as the API is available.
Will Veo 4 be available on VO3 AI?+
Yes โ VO3 AI integrates Google Veo models as soon as Google publishes the public API. We already support Veo 3 and Veo 3.1 (including Veo 3.1 Lite). When Veo 4 launches, you will be able to use it inside the same chat interface, same credit system, same workflows.
Where can I track Veo 4 news?+
Follow Google DeepMind on X/Twitter and the Google AI Blog. Major announcements typically appear during Google I/O (May), at NeurIPS (December), or via dedicated product launch events. VO3 AI will also publish a launch-day comparison once Veo 4 is officially released.
