About this model
[Veo 3.1](/playground/veo3.1-text-to-video) Lite T2V is a lightweight, cost-efficient AI video model that transforms text prompts into 8-second videos at a fraction of the cost of the full Veo 3.1 model. Designed for creators who need high-volume generation or rapid iteration without sacrificing too much on quality, it delivers smooth motion, coherent scenes, and natural audio from a simple text description.
The lite variant is ideal when speed and cost matter most — producing creative clips for prototyping, drafts, and social content at just $0.30 per generation. It supports the same resolution options (720p, 1080p, 4K) and aspect ratios as the full model, giving you flexibility across output formats.
