Google launches AI 'Veo 2' capable of generating videos up to 4K, surpassing OpenAI's Sora in human evaluation
Google announced its video generation AI 'Veo 2' on December 16, 2024. It is said that it can create videos with a resolution of up to 4K, and can create animated videos in addition to live-action videos, and can faithfully reflect instructions to the camera.

In May 2024, Google announced 'Veo' as a video generation AI. The previous version of Veo could only create videos with a resolution of 1080p, but Veo 2 supports 4K resolution. The quality, including realism, has also improved.
Google announces 'Veo', an AI that can automatically generate 1080p videos over 1 minute - GIGAZINE
Here's an official example. It properly understands depth of field and creates a video that blurs the background and focuses on the face.

In the video of honey being poured onto hotcakes, the movement of the honey was successfully generated. In the latter scene, it was difficult to tell whether the coffee was poured or not.

The video below shows a beekeeper picking up honey, and it's almost indistinguishable from a live-action video.

The results of a comparison with other video generation models by human evaluators look like this. Each AI created a video based on 1,003 prompts, and humans evaluated which video was better. The comparison targets were Meta Movie Gen , Kling v1.5 , Minimax , and Sora Turbo . Veo 2 received higher ratings in all comparisons.
When rated on the basis of 'which video more closely matched the prompt,' Veo 2 also received a higher rating.
The videos generated by Veo 2 contain an invisible watermark called
SynthID
, which makes it possible to distinguish whether they are AI-generated or not. At the same time as the announcement, Veo 2 is available to some users on VideoFX . The number of users who can access it will be increased in the future.Many examples have already been posted on X by users.
