Google’s new AI video model Veo 2 will cost 50 cents per second
Google has quietly revealed the pricing of Veo 2, a video-generating AI model that it unveiled in December. According to the company’s pricing page, using Veo 2 will cost a staggering 50 cents per second of video.
To put this into perspective, Google DeepMind researcher Jon Barron highlighted the extraordinary cost of producing high-quality content. For instance, he pointed out that the production budget for the blockbuster Marvel movie “Avengers: Endgame” was reportedly $356 million – equivalent to around $32,000 per second. Of course, customers won’t necessarily use every second of Veo-generated video they pay for, nor is it likely that Veo 2 will generate three-hour “Avengers”-style epics anytime soon. The model’s announcement highlighted its ability to create clips that are two minutes or more.
In comparison, OpenAI recently made its Sora video generation model available to subscribers paying $200 a month for a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
