Google’s new AI video model Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second

: Google's Veo 2 AI video model, introduced in December, is priced at 50 cents per second, equating to $30 per minute or $1,800 per hour. DeepMind's Jon Barron compared this with Marvel's 'Avengers: Endgame,' which cost $32,000 per second. Veo 2 can create clips two minutes or more but isn't expected to produce full-length movies soon. OpenAI's Sora model requires a $200/month ChatGPT Pro subscription.

Google has announced the pricing for its AI video model, Veo 2, which was first unveiled in December. The service is set at 50 cents per second, translating to $30 for a minute of video and $1,800 for an hour.

Jon Barron, a researcher at Google DeepMind, highlighted the cost differences by comparing Veo 2 with high-budget productions like Marvel's 'Avengers: Endgame,' which had a production budget amounting to $32,000 per second. Veo 2's ability to generate clips of two minutes or more was a key feature highlighted upon its release.

Despite the pricing, it's unlikely that Veo 2 will immediately replace full-length movie productions or that customers will fully utilize every second they purchase. OpenAI has also entered the video generation realm with its Sora model, available through a $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription.
