About Veo 3 Fast

Faster, cheaper Veo 3 tier
Sound-on or silent output at separate rates
Native audio, 720p/1080p, 4-8 seconds

Veo 3 Fast is the speed-and-cost tier of Google's Veo 3 generation, offering the same core capabilities as Veo 3 at lower latency and price.

  • It covers text-to-video and first-frame image-to-video with native synchronized audio, outputting 720p or 1080p .mp4 clips at 24 fps, 4, 6, or 8 seconds long, in 16:9 or 9:16, and a generateAudio switch selects sound-on or silent output.
  • That profile suits high-volume drafts, social formats, and quick iteration where throughput beats top-tier polish; Google now lists Veo 3.1 Fast as the recommended replacement.
  • Synthorai serves it through the asynchronous /v1/videos job API with create-and-poll or Prefer: wait semantics, and bills per output second at separate sound-on and silent rates.
