Veo 2

Deprecated

Billed per second of video at $0.35/s (paid tier only), so token price fields are N/A. Google's pricing-page banner: "Veo 2 (veo-2.0-generate-001) is deprecated and will be shut down on June 30, 2026; migrate to Veo 3.1 Preview or the GA models available through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to avoid service disruption." The date has passed and the row is not marked shut down, so the status stays deprecated. Google publishes shutdown dates as "the earliest possible dates on which a model might be retired"; already-shut-down models are marked with a grey row on the deprecations page.

Veo 2 by Google is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It is deprecated, shutting down 30 Jun 2026; the recommended replacement is Veo 3.1.
