Nature Scene
"Aerial drone shot slowly rising above a misty old-growth forest at dawn, revealing a winding river cutting through the valley below, golden sunlight breaking through clouds"
Cinematic Portrait
"Close-up of a woman's face as she opens her eyes and looks into the camera, shallow depth of field, soft golden backlight, hair gently moving in the breeze, cinematic 24fps"

Google DeepMind is the merged AI research organisation formed in April 2023 when Google Brain and DeepMind (acquired by Google in 2014) were combined into a single unit led by Demis Hassabis (CEO). DeepMind was founded in 2010 by Hassabis, Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman, and is famous for AlphaGo, AlphaFold and the Gemini language-model family. On the video side, DeepMind shipped Imagen Video (2022), Lumiere (2024), Veo (May 2024, Google I/O), Veo 2 (December 2024), Veo 3 with native audio (May 2025) and Veo 3.1 (late 2025). Veo is exposed via Vertex AI, the Gemini API, Google Labs (VideoFX, Whisk) and YouTube's Dream Screen.
Visit Google DeepMind →Veo 2 is a closed text-to-video and image-to-video model that builds on DeepMind's Imagen and Lumiere research. It uses a spatio-temporal latent diffusion architecture with a transformer-based denoiser conditioned on rich text embeddings from Gemini-family encoders and optional image embeddings. Veo 2 generates clips up to 8 seconds at up to 4K resolution (extended versions reach minutes), with strong understanding of camera language ('dolly', 'aerial', '35mm anamorphic') and real-world physics. DeepMind report substantial gains over Veo 1 on motion realism, prompt adherence and detail. The pipeline combines a base diffusion model with cascaded spatial and temporal super-resolution and an upscaler. Veo 2 was trained on a curated YouTube-and-partner video corpus with synthetic captioning at multiple granularities, and post-trained with reward models for prompt adherence and aesthetic quality.
