spec & usage
Veo 3.1 ships in Standard, Fast, and Lite variants for production quality, rapid iteration, and higher-throughput developer use
Consumer access runs through Gemini and Google Vids, while developer access is available in AI Studio and Vertex AI
Works well for creators who need both social aspect ratios and higher-end cinematic output from the same family
limitations
Family performance and cost vary significantly by Standard, Fast, and Lite tiers
Some creative-control cases still favor Seedance when many reference assets are involved
