Google introduced Veo 3.1 Lite as its most cost-effective video generation model, priced at less than 50% of Veo 3.1 Fast while keeping the same speed. The model is rolling out through the paid tier of the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, broadening access to higher-volume video app use cases.

An r/singularity post spotlighted Google’s Flow update, which consolidates image and video generation/editing into one workspace. Google positions the release around practical workflow control, asset management, and iterative refinement.
