Google’s new AI video model Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second
Google has quietly revealed the pricing of Veo 2, the video-generating AI model that it
unveiled in December
.
According to the company’s
pricing page
, using Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second of video, which adds up to $30 per minute or $1,800 per hour. Google DeepMind researcher Jon Barron
contrasted
this pricing with the blockbuster Marvel movie “Avengers: Endgame,” which had a
reported production budget
of $356 million — or around $32,000 per second.
Of course, customers aren’t necessarily going to use every second of Veo-generated video that they pay for, nor is Veo 2 likely generate three-hour “Avengers” epics anytime soon (Google’s announcement highlighted Veo 2’s ability to create clips that are two minutes or more).
Another price to compare: OpenAI recently made its Sora video generation model
available to subscribers
paying $200 a month for a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
