Deprecated

Billed per second with audio: $0.10/s at 720p, $0.12/s at 1080p, $0.30/s at 4K (paid tier only); token price fields are N/A. Covered by the same 2026-06-30 Veo 3 shutdown banner, whose date has passed while Google still states the model is deprecated rather than shut down. 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. REVERTED 2026-08-31: the retirement filed earlier today is withdrawn. It rested on the rate row disappearing from the PRICING page, which is an inference; the deprecations page carries a first-party, per-row marker for "already shut down" (the legend: "Already-shutdown models are indicated with gray backgrounds", a literal class="row-gray" on the <tr>) and this row is NOT gray. Google therefore still asserts the endpoint is running. Gray beats a missing rate row; status returns to deprecated and the changelog entry is removed as our own error (LEARNINGS #48).

Veo 3 Fast by Google is tracked live in our LLM catalog. It is deprecated, shutting down 30 Jun 2026; the recommended replacement is Veo 3.1 Fast.
